Dr. Mohammed T. Bani Salameh, Dr. Ahed A.Mashagbeh

Abstract
The study aimed to identify the areas of American-Russian rivalry in the Middle East and the Arab region, and focused on the most important spheres of Russian influence that Russia sought to preserve under American hegemony. The study used the method of system analysis in international relations for its relevance to the subject of the study. The key question the study tries to answer is what are the internal and external determinants that directly contribute to the growing Russian role in the international system. The study concluded that Russia's reformist policies enabled it to regain its leading role at the global level and thus its ability to maintain its areas of influence free from American hegemony.
