520 3  "For both diplomatic and national security reasons, 
       security cooperation continues to be important for the 
       United States. The needs and existing capabilities of 
       various nations differ, however, as will results. In 
       previous research, RAND identified a series of factors 
       that correlate with the success of building partner 
       capacity (BPC) efforts. Some of these are under U.S. 
       control, and some are inherent in the partner nation or 
       under its control. Strategic imperatives sometimes compel 
       the United States to work with PNs that lack favorable 
       characteristics but with which the United States needs to 
       conduct BPC anyway. This report explores what the United 
       States can do, when conducting BPC in challenging contexts,
       to maximize prospects for success. The authors address 
       this question using the logic model outlined in a 
       companion report and examining a series of case studies, 
       looking explicitly at the challenges that can interfere 
       with BPC. Some of the challenges stemmed from U.S. 
       shortcomings, such as policy or funding issues; others 
       from the partner's side, including issues with practices, 
       personalities, baseline capacity, and lack of willingness;
       still others from disagreements among various stakeholders
       over objectives and approaches. Among the factors 
       correlated with success in overcoming these challenges 
       were consistency of funding and implementation, shared 
       security interests, and matching objectives with the 
       partner nation's ability to absorb and sustain 
       capabilities."--Back cover.
