In Search of Self-Reliance: U.S. Security Assistance to the Third World under the Nixon Doctrine

Abstract

The study examines the implications of the Nixon Doctrine for U.S. security-assistance programs in the Third World; the relevance to the Doctrine's implementation of the experiences of several Third World countries that have developed their own military doctrines and organizations; the military dimensions of security-assistance programs, particularly the advantages of force structures different from present ones; and the possibility of improving U.S. military relations with Third World countries through new strategies for training and materiel assistance.
