Revolution in Military Affairs

Informationen zum Autor Elinor C. Sloan is associate professor of International Relations in the Department of Political Science at Carleton University. Klappentext The war in Afghanistan, the Gulf war, and the NATO bombardment of Kosovo show clearly how advances in information technology are driving a high-tech revolution in military affairs (RMA) and transforming the nature of modern warfare. Elinor Sloan outlines the major elements of the RMA and examines the efforts of the United States, its NATO allies, and others to transform their military forces from the large, industrial-age forces of the Cold War to the smaller, more rapidly deployable yet highly lethal forces of the future. By detailing the diverse dimensions of the RMA, including its appropriateness in anti-terrorist campaigns and its relevance to peace support operations, The Revolution in Military Affairs looks at whether and to what extent the RMA is applicable to future military missions. Zusammenfassung This volume details the RMA! the principle guiding philosophy governing modern military doctrines! and! in particular! what they mean for smaller NATO allies.
