The ten authors of the essays in this study examine issues that the
US must address if its national security policy in the Middle East
is to be well informed. In "NBC and Missile Proliferation in the
Middle East," Lawrence Scheinman summarizes the nuclear,
biological, and chemical weapons capabilities and missile systems
of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Libya, and Syria. Scheinman argues
that that stability in the region is best served by universal
adherence to treaties to prevent the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction (WMD). Anthony R. Cordesman, in his essay "Recent
Developments in the Persian Gulf," looks at both the conventional
and WMD military balance between the states in the region. He
assesses the volume of arms transfers to each state in the region
and their impact on balance of power in the region. In "Arab
Perspectives on Middle Eastern Security," Ibrahim A. Karawan,
concludes that the lack of success in curbing the spread of nuclear
weapons in the Middle East is not surprising. Karawan asserts that
the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons among Arab and
Middle East states is a natural deterrence response. Avner Cohen,
in "Regional Security and Arms Control in the Middle East: The
Nuclear Dimension," explains the diametrically opposite approaches
taken by the two sides in the arms control and regional security
negotiations. Cohen asserts that the future of nuclear arms control
in the region will depend on progress toward the settlement of the
Arab-Israeli conflict and the evolution of politics and society in
states outside the region. In "The Egyptian-Israeli confrontation
over the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty," W. Andrew Terrill
compares and contrasts the Egyptian and Israeli views of how best
to achieve a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East.
