State and army in the Middle East and North Africa: Reflections on the past and the future
- Abstract:
- This chapter asks what lessons may be may be learned from an examination of the historical experience of armies and their role in state-building in the Middle East and North Africa; and to what extent such lessons may offer a guide to understanding the future role of armies in countries from Morocco to Iran; and the likely shape of the emerging security architecture across the region. It places this historical experience in a pan-regional perspective, seeking to define broad similarities in approaches and consequences, but argues that, within this comparative paradigm, each country’s narrative is also nonetheless determined by specific national historical, cultural, political, and economic contexts.
