Security Assistance, A Viable Instrument of U.S. Foreign Policy
Abstract
Security assistance has long been a key instrument of United States foreign policy, During the Clinton Administration, the American public and Congress have scrutinized security assistance, which is the transfer of arms, defense items, services, and training, closely. Some critics have decried it as a concept that has outlived its intended purpose and Americans should no longer bear the cost of promoting regional conventional arms proliferation. This paper examines the evolution and development of security assistance and critically assesses its role as a viable instrument of the Clinton Administration's national security strategy and foreign policy.
