Summary/Abstract: Interrelation among actors, interests and goals in the Middle-East seem to overwhelm socio-political sensitivities arising from a clash between the fundamental ideas, values and principles of the West and Islam. Perhaps islamist terrorism obtains its impetus from the complex web of intermingling factors arising from economic interdependence between the West, Islam and Russia as prompted by Globalization.This paper is to reveal the study made on geopolitical factors that dictate to interrelation in the Middle East, thereby exposing the supremacy of economic (oil) interdependence over all socio-political sensitivities arising within the region.
