Sources and Methods This volume is part of a series of volumes on each of the Gulf states which has been developed by the Cater for Strategic and Internatianal Studies as part of a dpamic net assessment cjf the Middle East. This prctject has had the sponsorship of each of the Southern Gulf states as well as US sponsors of the CSXS, and each text has been widely distributed for comment to expe~s and officials in each Southern Gulf country, to US experts and officials, and to several international agencies and institutions, and t~arious private experts. Sources The author has drawn heavily on the inputs of outside reviewers throughout the text. It was agreed with each reviewer, however; that no individual or agency sht)uid be attributed at any point in the text except by specific request, and that all data used be attributed to sources that are openly available to the public. The reader should be aware of this in reviewing the footnotes. Only open sources are normally referred to in the text, although the data contained in the analysis has often been extensively modified to reflect expert comment. There are other aspects of the sources used of which the reader should be aware, It was possible to visit each Suuthern Gulf states at variom tims during the preparation of this book and to talk to local officials and experts. %>me provided detailed comments on the text. Interviews also took place with experts in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Switzerland. and Germany brtions of the manuscript tzrer-e circulated for informal review by European officials and diplomats in same cases. Once again, no details regarding such visits or cornments are referenced in the text. Data fmm open sources are deliberately drawn fram a wide range of sources. Virtually all of these sources are at least in partial ccmflict. There is no consensus over demographic data, budget data, military expenditures and arms transfers, force numbers, unit designations, or weapons types. While the use of computer data ba~s allowed same cross-correlatic~n and checking of such source, the reporting on factors like force strengths, unit types and identities, tactics often could not be reconciled and citing multiple sources for each case was not possible became it involved many detailed ju%rnents by the author in recmcilirzg different reports and data. "The Internet and several on-line services were also used extensively, Since such the data bases are dynamic, and change or are deleted over time, there is no clear
