Middle East Strategic Balance, 2003-2004

The Middle East Strategic Balance [formerly the ‘Middle East Military Balance’] is prepared annually by the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, Tel Aviv University, to provide an authoritative and indispensable guide to strategic developments and military capabilities in the Middle East. Governments, the media, and researchers pay close attention to the data and analysis, which offer a comprehensive insightful assessment of the complex Middle East strategic environment. The ‘2003-2004 Strategic Balance’ provides an objective analysis of the strategic factors and events shaping the region through a rich collection of essays, together with a country by country overview of the region’s military forces, including the major changes to the orders of battle, and a survey of personnel, weapons and equipment holdings, non-conventional capabilities and ballistic missiles, and other key components of military force structures. Published in association with the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies.
