Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Proposes an innovative, ¿whole-of-society¿ approach to bridging the security/develop. divide in the Middle East that would leverage donor invest. in both security assistance and develop. assistance, so as to ensure recipient state buy-in and an enduring return on investment. U.N. Security Council Resolution 1540 is one tool that could be used to this end. Using 1540, governments of the region could, for instance, identify novel streams of assistance to address capacity shortfalls in pursuit of safe nuclear power generation. Such a strategy would accelerate energy-diversification options and respond to the enduring challenge of water scarcity, while solidifying their participation as responsible members of the global non-proliferation community.
