Because of a decline in U.S. defense spending and the need for a Defense Industrial Base to sustain a globally competitive edge in a buyer's market through the sale of arms, weapons control is a key area of concern. A U.S. goal in the post Cold War environment is to keep weapons, and the associated manufacturing of high technology away from countries who might direct them against our forces, or in ways which place regional or global stability at risk. This study explores the surge of weapons buying by countries in the Middle East, and the U.S. policy towards conventional arms transfers to these countries.
