Differently from the ?Look East? policy promoted during the presidency of Ahmadinejad (2005-2013), the current Iranian strategy is not only functional to escape the US-led isolation, but it rather seems devoted to the consolidation of a block of power which can commit to security and economic schemes in alternative to the Western-dominated ones. This ISPI report aims to answer few crucial questions: Which are the major initiatives promoted within Iran?s ?Look East 2.0? strategy? To what extent will Tehran succeed in creating a solid Eastern block? What will be the influence of the wider geopolitical context? And finally, what role is left for the EU? 607 $aIran$xForeign relations$y1997- 607 $aIran$xPolitics and government$y21st century 676 $a327.55 702 $aPerteghella$b Annalisa 702 $aMagri$b Paolo 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367723403321 996 $aIran looking East$91764737 997 $aUNINA
