The Middle East represents a functioning model of the modern world. The main feature of the region in particular and the world as a whole is a dialectical confluence of high potential for conflict and inextricable interconnectedness. Problems cannot be solved individually, but neither do they have a general solution. How can stability be preserved and development prospects consolidated? What role can BRICS take in this regard?
