New Book: Arms Control in the Middle East: Cooperative Security Dialogue and Regional Constraints

Dear Subscriber,

I am pleased to inform you of the publication of Arms Control in the Middle East: Cooperative Security Dialogue and Regional Constraints, by Emily Landau, published jointly this summer by Sussex Academic Press and the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies. This book is available from the SPMEMart at https://spme.org/cgi-bin/spmemart/shop.cgi?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=1845190289

Arms Control in the Middle East focuses on the Arms Control and Regional Security working group (ACRS) as it unfolded during the years 1992-1995, as part of the multilateral track of the Arab-Israeli peace process initiated in October 1991 at Madrid. Attempting to apply a particular logic of arms control to the region in the wake of the 1991 Gulf War, the four-year dialogue constituted the first region-wide attempt to develop a concept of regional security for the Middle East. Dr. Landau documents how this forum became the setting of unprecedented positive regional dynamics with potentially far-reaching implications.

Emily Landau is a senior research associate at the Institute for National Security Studies, and director of the Institute’s project on arms control and regional security. Her fields of research include regional dynamics and processes in the Middle East, developments in arms control thinking, and new proliferation challenges.

Sincerely,

Moshe Grundman

Director of Publications
