| description | 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. |
