"Overseas bases often fill important military roles, not only in the Middle East, but around the world, yet they are increasingly difficult to sustain politically. How and where to best keep them are issues of crucial importance for policy ... This book uses multiple analytical challenges to develop and test falsifiable generalizations about why military bases come and go, employ the more viable ones in probabilistic fashion to provide a prognosis for existing and anticipated basing configurations, and suggests prescriptions for future policy on the basis of past historical experience"--Introduction.
