Security Assistance in the Middle East: A Conversation

Why, given the enormous resources spent by the United States and Europe on security assistance to Arab countries, has it led to so little success? Can anything be done to change the disheartening status quo? Addressing these thorny questions, the authors of this state-of-the-art assessment evaluate the costs and benefits to the main providers and recipients of security assistance in the MENA region and explore alternative strategies to improve outcomes for both. Please join the CSIS Middle East Program for a conversation with Dr. Robert Springborg, Dr. Hicham Alaoui, Dr. Lindsey Benstead, and Alex Walsh, about their new book, Security Assistance in the Middle East: Challenges … and the Need for Change.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
