SAŽETAK: U članku se analizira geopolitički položaj Bliskog istoka u kontekstu događaja od 11. septembra 2001. godine, kada je ovaj region postao jedno od ključnih mjesta međunarodne politike.

Stoga, cilj ovog rada je sveobuhvatana analiza političke situacije na području Bliskog istoka, posmatrano sa geostrateškog aspekta.
