The Effects of Conventional Arms Transfers in the Middle East on US national Military Strategy

Abstract

The United States acknowledges that unrestricted conventional arms transfers in the Middle East do not promote regional stability. The U.S. is concerned with Middle East regional stability and security for American personnel and U.S. Allies. To this end, destabilizing conventional arms transfers in the Middle East are discouraged. This study will examine US interests, policies, and strategy in the Middle East. Particular attention will be paid to the proliferation of conventional arms to the Middle East region and the effects of such proliferation on the US National Military Strategy, and if the U.S. arms policy in the Middle East is consistent with our arms control and transfer practices
