Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the 1981 sale of five Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft to Saudi Arabia in terms of the sale's actual effectiveness in achieving the foreign policy goals which former President Reagan claimed it would achieve. Congress, then having the authority to block major arms sales by virtue of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, forcibly challenged the President not only on his interpretation of the national interest, but also on his ability to conduct foreign policy effectively. The thesis examines President Reagan's expressed rationale for promoting the sale. The specific areas covered deal with U.S.-Saudi security concerns as well as the concept of presidential influence and leverage in the Middle East. The thesis also looks at the intense political battle and shows that a major arms sale was sanctioned not through logic or reason, but through raw emotion and political clout. The Saudis found the heated arguments over their reliability, stability and motives to be a bitter embarrassment. The thesis concludes by citing specific examples of how the Saudis have since avoided such embarrassment by turning to other nations for arms, most notably, perhaps ominously, to the Chinese for long-range surface-to-surface missiles.

Subject areas include a review of the political background and events leading up to the sale, a brief discussion of the major actors involved, and a more in-depth look at the congressional debate of the issue and resulting vote. Concluding remark s assess the congressional treatment of more recent and similar Middle East arms transfer proposals as well as the value of 'arms sale diplomacy' as a realistic method of projecting U.S. influence into the Persian Gulf region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia now has been under the spotlight of Western curiosity for more than 80 years. More than 15% of the world’s total oil reserves lie underneath Saudi Arabia and, in the early 1990s, the kingdom became the world’s largest crude oil producer. Not surprisingly, a world highly dependent on oil regards the desert kingdom as an area of intense strategic concern, as reflected in the coalition of forces assembled on Saudi soil to oust Iraq from Kuwait in 1991. Also, it played a major role in the invasion of Saddam Husayn’s Iraq in 2003 and shares concern with the West over Iran’s nuclear intentions throughout the 21st century. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Saudi Arabia contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Saudi Arabia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the background that has led to the longterm augmentation of the Royal Saudi Air Force's (RSAF) air defense system with a detachment of deployed US E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft which began in September 1980. The regional and global threats to Saudi Arabia are examined, as are the weaknesses present in the RSAF air defense system in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Planned improvements to Saudi air defense under the PEACE SENTINEL and PEACE SHIELD Foreign Military Sales programs are detailed along with the current status of both programs. Recognizing the growing organic air defense capabilities of the Saudi Air Force, an assessment is made with respect to the present and future need for continued active involvement of US AWACS in the defense of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Specific recommendations regarding continued US augmentation are made for a variety of threat scenarios.

This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a process of system architecture design, system cost modeling, and system architecture optimization, we assess the feasibility of performing the next generation Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) mission from a Space Based Radar platform. Initial studies by the Air Force called for systems that push the limits of currently available technology and are prohibitively expensive. We introduce a distributed operations concept for SBR that reduces the size of the satellites required, increases system reliability, improves system performance, and reduces system cost. Coupled with the system architecture optimization process, the resulting distributed SBR concept is feasible with currently available technology and is estimated to cost less than half of other, similar concepts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book offers an extensive legal analysis-grounded in public, EU, and international law-of arms trade regulation, integrated with insights drawn from international relations. The sale of weapons and related technologies is, globally, one of the most politically controversial and ethically contentious forms of commerce. Intimately connected with sustaining repressive governments and violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, arms exports are also a central element in the economic and strategic policies of the governments of all large industrial states. They have also been the source of abundant corruption, and of serious challenges to the norms and effectiveness of constitutional accountability in democratic states. On paper, the arms trade is heavily regulated: national legislation and international treaties are in place which purport to prohibit certain transactions and limit others. Yet despite its importance, legal and international relations scholarship on the subject has been surprisingly limited. This book fills this gap in the literature by examining and comparing the export control regimes of eight leading nations - USA, Russia, the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, China, and India - with chapters contributed by leading experts in the field of law and international relations.

A collection of essays by noted political scientists, the book compares and contrasts the political activities of seven ethnic groups with varying degrees of participation, influence, and success: Arab-Americans, Jewish-Americans, African-Americans, Polish-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, and Irish-Americans. Taken together, the chapters included here make an important contribution both to the study of foreign policy making and to the understanding of ethnic political behavior.

Book excerpt: This in-depth study of U.S. involvement in the modern Middle East carefully weighs the interplay of domestic, cultural, religious, diplomatic, international, and military events in one of the world's most troubled regions. The monumental, five-volume The Encyclopedia of Middle East Wars: The United States in the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq Conflicts is a must-have resource for anyone seeking to comprehend U.S. actions in this volatile region. Under the expert editorship of Spencer C. Tucker, the encyclopedia traces 20th- and 21st-century U.S. involvement in the Middle East and south-central Asia, concentrating on the last three decades. Beginning with the 1980–1988 Iran-Iraq War, it covers the 1979–1989 Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the 1991 Persian Gulf War, allied punitive actions against Iraq during the 1990s, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, and the Global War on Terror. Many smaller military actions against Iran, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and other regimes that have been involved in international terrorism are also included. Diplomacy, religion as it pertains to Middle East conflict, and social/cultural developments are other key subjects of analysis, as is the interplay of politics with military policy in the United States and other nations involved in the region.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays reflects the proceedings of a 1991 conference on "The United States Air Force: Aerospace Challenges and Missions in the 1990s," sponsored by the USAF and Tufts University. The 20 contributors comment on the pivotal role of airpower in the war with Iraq and address issues and choices facing the USAF, such as the factors that are reshaping strategies and missions, the future role and structure of airpower as an element of US power projection, and the aerospace industry's views on what the Air Force of the future will set as its acquisition priorities and strategies. The authors agree that aerospace forces will be an essential and formidable tool in US security policies into the next century. The contributors include academics, high-level military leaders, government officials, journalists, and top executives from aerospace and defense contractors.
