Rebuilding Arab Defense: US Security Cooperation in the Middle East

By Bilal Y Saab

Book Overview

After decades of US military assistance in the Middle East-providing expensive weapons systems and conducting military exercises-why are the military capabilities of US allies in the region still lacking? Why does it matter? And what can be done to remedy the status quo? Bilal Saab addresses these vexing questions through a set of in-depth case studies. Identifying the pitfalls of diverse assistance programs, Saab convincingly demonstrates the importance of institution building in efforts to achieve effective security cooperation in a region that remains of great strategic significance.
