| Summary |
Since 9/11 the United States has struggled with how to respond to the challenges posed by ungoverned spaces in the Middle East, from which terrorist attacks and destabilizing mass refugee flows emanate. Full-scale American-led counterinsurgency, stabilization campaigns, or other resource-intensive nation-shaping interventions attempted in Afghanistan and Iraq have proven to be unsustainable models given the high costs, indecisive outcomes, and lack of political support at home. The program proposed within this report is realistic and incremental, and it tries to address many of the landmines that have derailed previous efforts. It may take time, but it has a reasonable likelihood of meaningfully improving the cooperation, coordination, and capabilities of Arab partners to deal with the most pressing security threat in the Middle East |
