Future Challenges for the Arab World: The Implications of Demographic and Economic Trends

Authors: Keith Crane; Steven Simon; Jeffrey Martini; RAND PROJECT AIR FORCE SANTA MONICA CA
Abstract:
The purpose of this technical report is to help USAF and Department of Defense analysts assess likely demographic and economic challenges in the Arab world through 2020, a region of primary concern for U.S. security and foreign policies. The report is designed to provide a more-informed platform on which to build U.S. defense planning and policy. The report references conflicts in the region but focuses on longer-term, region-wide trends that are likely to affect U.S. interests no matter how events in Iraq or between Israel and Palestine unfold.
