Abstract

This study explores the evolving patterns of security and stability in West Asia, emphasizing the transformative role of modern digital technologies within the framework of multipolar international relations. Anchored in theories from international relations, security studies, and technology studies, the research investigates historical and contemporary security dynamics, the influence of external powers such as the US, Russia, and China, and the dual-use nature of digital technologies in the region. The study highlights the interplay between geopolitical shifts, economic diversification, and technological innovation as key components of collective security proposals by Russia, Iran, and China. It argues that multipolarity—understood through the principles of inclusivity, mutual respect, and regional cooperation—can serve as a viable foundation for resetting security frameworks in West Asia. The study provides a comparative analysis of Russian, Iranian, and Chinese security initiatives and identifies the convergence of principles such as non-aggression, collective security, and the role of international law. Additionally, the work outlines the potential of artificial intelligence and digital diplomacy in fostering mutual understanding and bridging divides in the region. The findings contribute to a broader discourse on the integration of technological advancements with multipolar security architecture, offering legal prescriptions and policy recommendations for enhancing stability and peace in West Asia.
