Civil-Military Relations in the Modern Middle East

Civil-Military Relations in the Modern Middle East explores the political and economic interactions between civilians and the armed forces in the post-World War II Middle East, emphasizing four themes: military and society, the role of the military in political transitions, the military's part in national economies, and the relations between soldiers and civilians in wartime. Covering the greater Middle East--including the Arab States, Israel, Turkey, and Iran--the book establishes how militaries in many Middle Eastern countries influence the national political and economic systems and how, in turn, politics influences the national militaries.
