Download or read book Conventional Middle East Arms Control written by Lonnie L. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Gulf War brought to the forefront concern for dangers posed by unrestrained militarization of the Middle East. In response, on 29 May 1991 President Bush unveiled a comprehensive Middle East arms control policy in a speech at the U.S. Air Force Academy. A key element of the policy banned the sale of the most dangerous conventional weapons to the region. Although the major arms suppliers (which also happen to be the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council) have held a series of high level meetings to discuss options for restricting sales to the region, all continue conventional arms transfers to the Middle East and are likely to continue to do so. This paper contends that the end of the Cold War put additional economic pressure on the major suppliers to export arms to the Middle East; and, their interests are so compelling that the suppliers are unlikely to support President Bush's proposal. This position is supported by analyzing the interests that influence major arms suppliers to sell arms abroad. The format for this analysis includes an assessment of: each country's interest in selling arms during the Cold War; the impact of the Cold War's end on those interests; and whether the post Cold War interests conflict with President Bush's conventional arms control proposal. The paper concludes with recommendations for U.S. policy in the region.

Download or read book Global and Regional Approaches to Arms Control in the Middle East written by Gamal M. Selim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, the Middle East has been the focus of various projects for the establishment of arms control (including CBMs) regimes. Whereas some of these projects were initiated at the global level, others were discussed and debated at the regional level. This book analyses the global and regional dynamics of arms control in the Middle East in the post-Cold War era. It examines American and European arms control projects, the contexts in which they were presented, the reactions of major regional actors, and their impacts on arms control efforts in the region. It assesses Arab perceptions of the motivations for and constraints on establishing arms control regimes. It also explores the prospects of regional arms control in the context of the ongoing Arab Spring with its ramifications for Arab regional politics, and provides a new perspective on arms control in the Middle East. This volume enriches the ongoing discourse, which to date has been dominated by mainly Western perspectives.

Download or read book International Arms Transfers and the Middle East written by Ian Anthony and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. 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.

Download or read book Cascade of Arms written by Andrew J. Pierre and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the post-cold war emphasis on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the neglected dimension has been the spread of advanced conventional arms. Yet these are the arms most likely to be used in conflict. They present the greatest diversion from economic and social development, and are the centerpiece of regional security balances. This book examines the policies and practices of the major arms-supplying nations, looks at the impact of weapons purchases on the principal recipient regions and the possibilities for regional arms control, and dissects the economics of arms exports for the producer nations in both the developing and industrialized worlds. The book thoroughly discusses the opportunities for, and obstacles to, achieving multilateral restraint on arms.
