| Summary / Abstract (Note) | U.S. security assistance programs are expected to increase the capabilities of partners in the Middle East and Africa by leveraging the provision of armaments and training through foreign aid. Can policymakers increase their reliance on such programs to achieve foreign policy aims of promoting regional stability while retaining political flexibility? Using multivariate logistic regression of Middle East and African states spanning 1970 to 2015, the empirical findings suggest that U.S. programs geared toward education and training are more positively correlated with stability than programs oriented toward providing hardware. |
