As the center of intellectual life for the Security Cooperation enterprise, DSCU continually searches for relevant education and training opportunities to help the Security Cooperation Workforce (SCW) achieve outcomes that enhance the security of the United States and its partners and allies.

The Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) proposes to publish an edited volume on foreign military sales (FMS). The purpose of the volume is to help policymakers, planners, and implementers to think differently about FMS challenges and opportunities.

The volume’s key audience is the security cooperation professional and aims to inform the practice of security cooperation. It will be organized around four FMS-relevant themes, each with three to five chapters of scholarly quality: law and policy, industry, process, and partnerships.
