This book was released on 1988 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presidents Carter and Reagan each established a new United States policy to govern sales or transfers of conventional arms to foreign nations. President Carter called for stricter controls and an overall reduction in arms transfers to foreign nations. President Reagan believed that arms transfers to friends and allies strengthened the United States position in the world. This thesis analyzes the success of both arms transfer policies in the Persian Gulf by comparing the dollar amount and type of equipment actually transferred against the formal Congressional Notifications (Arms Export Control Act section 36b). Further, it examines proposed arms sales and transfer with respect to strategic access of the Persian Gulf. Finally, it examines employment and financial impacts of the Foreign Military Sales program on the United States economy. Theses. (FR).

Book excerpt: Because of oil, the United States has a vital national interest in the stability of the Persian Gulf region. The conundrum is that large amounts of conventional arms are flowing into the region each year and the U.S. is the biggest arms exporter to the world and specifically to the Persian Gulf. The end of the Cold War prompted a U.S. defense procurement holiday that forced the drastic resizing of the entire defense industrial base. The downsizing and globalization of the defense industry has resulted in multinational corporations with a production presence in multiple countries where the U.S. has limited influence. The Persian Gulf is the world's largest developing region arms importer. These arms sales are avidly sought after by the U.S. defense industry and the U.S. Government is actively promoting these sales. Despite these arms transfers, current deliveries are making only token progress in correcting the qualitative defects in friendly forces and limited progress is being made toward integrating the Southern Gulf States militaries. This study explores the trend of arms transfers from the U.S. to the Persian Gulf, U.S. policy on arms transfers, and the military and geopolitical situation influencing policy decisions in the Persian Gulf.

Download or read book Arms and Oil written by Thomas L. McNaugher and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1979, after a decade of enormous increases in the price of oil, U.S. influence in the oil-rich Persian Gulf region declined sharply. Early in the year the Iranian revolution replaced the shah, the principal pro-American leader in the region, with rulers hostile to the United States and to its remaining friends around the Gulf. In December Soviet troops moved into Afghanistan, bringing the Soviets closer to the Gulf and the Indian Ocean. In the United States these events spurred the announcement of the Carter Doctrine and the creation of a new military command to handle Gulf crises. Yet the United States established no new fighting forces, and U.S. friends around the Gulf proved less willing than the shah of Iran to host a U.S. military presence. Thus debate has continued about whether and how the United States can secure important interests in the Gulf region. In this book Thomas L. McNaugher offers a military strategy that integrates U.S. forces into the security framework that already exists in the region. He suggests that the United States should encourage Jordan, Pakistan, Great Britain, and others to continue their historical involvement in Gulf security, especially in such areas as internal security where U.S. forces are no better equipped than theirs and where U.S. participation may undermine the legitimacy of local rulers. In turn, the United States should focus on protecting the oil-rich states of the Arabian peninsula from external attack and on deterring further Soviet encroachment in the region. These missions demand an increase in the agility, rather than the size, of U.S. forces. But the more important requirement, McNaugher argues, is for skillfully blending U.S. military strategy into a diplomacy that exploits, rather than needlessly upsets, regional security mechanisms.
