This book was released on 1998-11-19 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War and the relentless pace of technological change are altering the patterns of international arms transfers. For a number of economic and technological reasons, the US is becoming increasingly dominant, particularly with respect to the very highest military capabilities which these technologies promise, though this will not be without dislocations for the Israeli military and society. Other countries such as Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia may acquire some additional conventional capabilities, but they are not likely to be decisive in relation to Israel, though they could increase tensions associated with other disputes in the region. Finally, in the absence of progress towards a resolution of the Arab-Israeli and other regional disputes, Israel's increasing technological edge will likely have the effect of further encouraging the efforts of some countries to explore asymmetric responses such as acquiring non-conventional weapons or resorting to terrorism.

Book Synopsis Scuds or Butter? by : Yahya M. Sadowski
Download or read book Scuds or Butter? written by Yahya M. Sadowski and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1970s and 1980s, Middle Eastern states spent more than $600 billion expanding their military forces. They acquired thousands of tanks, advanced fighter aircraft, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, and—in some cases—nuclear devices. These potent arsenals make the Middle East the tinderbox of world affairs. In this book, foreign policy analyst Yahya Sadowski shows that the arms race cannot be sustained in the 1990s. Declining oil prices, overpopulation, economic mismanagement, and foreign policy adventures—such as the 1992 Gulf War, which cost local states another $600 billion—have sapped the economies of the Middle East. Facing dwindling incomes and rising expenses, growing numbers of Middle Easterners now favor diverting funds away from military expenditures and concentrating them on economic development programs. Sadowski argues that arms control programs for the Middle East should be designed to reinforce and exploit these economic pressures for demilitarization. He examines the strengths and weaknesses of various arms control proposals, such as the U.S. call for a cartel of weapons exporters and a Jordanian plan to liquidate the foreign debt of states that curb military expenditures.

Download or read book Arms Transfers to the Middle East and North Africa written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police and security forces in the Middle East and North Africa responded to the mass popular uprisings witnessed there after December 2010 with brutal repression. This crackdown by the authorities has involved the use of weaponry, munitions and related equipment imported from major arms-exporting nations. The excessive force used against the protesters demonstrates the critical need for strict controls to be established through the Arms Trade Treaty being negotiated at the UN. Crucially, the Treaty should prevent international arms transfers to any state where a substantial risk exists of the arms being used to commit or facilitate serious human rights violations. This report examines arms transfers to the region and explores some common principles that can be applied by states when authorizing arms transfers, and which should underpin the Treaty's framework. Amnesty International is urging all states that have been supplying arms to the region to undertake immediate and thorough case-by-case reviews of their arms transfer procedures. In 2012, UN member states will negotiate the final text of the Arms Trade Treaty. If it is to achieve the highest possible common standards, the lessons of irresponsible arms transfers to the Middle East and North Africa must inform the Treaty's content.

Book Synopsis The Arms Race in the Middle East by : Mohammad Eslami
Download or read book The Arms Race in the Middle East written by Mohammad Eslami and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume discusses security policy and strategic policymaking in the Middle East region. Due to its unique geopolitical, geoeconomic and geostrategic features, the Middle East region has been confronted with challenging security issues. Combined with a lack of an efficient regional security regime this has led to the formation of a full-fledged arms race. This book draws together contributions from international experts to address the factors that have been contributing to the ongoing formation of an arms race in the Middle East as well as the impact of this phenomenon on the regional and global security environment. The book is organized in three sections. The first section outlines the contemporary dynamics of the arms race in the Middle East by focusing on its most recent dynamics and their implications for regional and international security. The second section conducts systematic analysis of case studies of country-specific drivers of the arms race. The third and final section examines the role of external actors in the arms race, evaluating both the responses of regional actors to external interventions as well as the implications of the arms race for extra-regional countries.

Book Synopsis Transfer of Arms, Leverage, and Peace in the Middle East by : Nitza Nachmias
Download or read book Transfer of Arms, Leverage, and Peace in the Middle East written by Nitza Nachmias and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-11-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Israel has been primarily dependent on U.S. arms for its national security since 1968, supplying military aid has not conferred the degree of policy leverage anticipated by the United States. This study is the first to analyze the reasons why the tactics of transferring or withholding arms have failed to achieve U.S. foreign policy goals in the Middle East. Providing a thorough, up-to-date reexamination of the U.S.-Israeli relationship, Nachmias gives a comprehensive account of U.S. Middle East policy from 1968 to 1988 and explores the international and regional dilemmas that have undercut U.S. policy initiatives for peace. Nachmias argues that the use of military aid to achieve foreign policy goals ignores the regional conditions that control Middle East politics and does little to advance the peace process or enhance U.S. power in the region. To promote these objectives, she suggests alternative approaches, including the creation of a coherent and consistent U.S. policy for the region and a stronger and more innovative diplomatic role. One of the few analyses to consider international policy questions in terms of leverage between client and patron states, Nachmias's work significantly enlarges our understanding of the complex forces that will continue to shape the Middle East situation in the coming decades. Her book will be a valuable resource for scholars, officials, and students specializing in U.S. politics and foreign policy and Middle East studies.

Download or read book Arms Sales and Regional Stability written by The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book considers the main arms exporting countries, including China, Russia, and the US, as well as several European states, and the policies each employs in deciding advanced weapons sales to key regions of the world. It examines whether such sales are inherently stabilising or de-stabilising regarding regional security. Regions reviewed in detail include the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific. Combat aircraft sales are a focus for the volume given both their practical and symbolic importance. The volume focuses on the behaviour and policies of the main arms exporting nations since the end of the Cold War, shifts in their arms export policies, and the tensions that can emerge within or between countries over proposed arms sales. It also considers the impact of countries that were previously only recipients of advanced weapons moving to develop their own defence industrial base.
