The Burke Chair has issued an updated version of an e-book-length assessment of the military dynamics of the Middle East and North Africa. The update reacts to a range of early comments on the initial working draft, and it includes a revised assessment of the challenges in open-source reporting on military transfers, outside military support, military spending, and arms transfers as a measure of military dynamics. The new analysis also includes expanded analysis of the modernization, force readiness, and military capabilities of each country in the MENA region; the role of non-state actors; and China’s strategic interests.
