"One of the first studies of the concepts and practices of modern security assistance that is both devoid of ideology and accessible to scholars, policy ysts, and practitioners alike. A perfect guide to the 'dark arts.'" —David B. Des Roches, National Defense University

"Highly original, bringing new research to bear on a policy question of major importance and filling a gap in the academic literature. This is a must-read for anyone working on Middle East security policy." —Nicholas Lotito, Yale University

Why, given the enormous resources spent by the US 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.
