Where the armed forces acted in their entirety or partially sided with the protesters, regime change succeeded; where they did not, it failed. The somewhat renewed political role of Arab forces has therefore underlined not only their importance, but also the necessity for reform. This monograph focuses on the structural aspects of reform that would benefit the Arab Spring forces; it identifies seven features which need to be addressed when attempting Arab military reform in the countries affected by largescale unrest in 2011. These are: an unclear mandate, over-politicization, lack of civilian oversight, a challenging ongoing security situation, limited resources, pockets of paramilitary activity, and, in parts, lack of an institutional perception of the need to reform. It looks at the reasons for these features and formulates possible solutions. 606 $aPrimavera araba$xStudi$3UONC087528$2FI 620 $aUS$dCarlisle, PA$3UONL003131 700 1$aGAUB$bFlorence$3UONV233100$0741420 712 $a*Department of the *Army $3UONV075911$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20251003$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00464273 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI C 0364 $eSI 16767 5 0364 $sBuono 951 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$bSI2016189 1J 20160202 996 $aAfter the spring: reforming Arab Armies$91548561 997 $aUNIOR
