The exploitation of superior US systems for the collection,
analysis and distribution of information currently undermines US
leadership in the context of transatlantic crisis management. The
USA's clear lead in information technology creates political
liabilities with respect to both allies and adversaries, while
political-technical tradeoffs warrant a more open approach to
information systems, information production, and information
sharing among allies. Clearly distinguishing the role of
information in winning wars versus managing crises, this book
extends existing models for how breakdowns occur in international
bargaining. Allies, who share preferences but not the resolve of a
coalition leader, are brought into the explanation for war as a
rational outcome of incomplete information. Case studies ranging
from Cold War Berlin to the War in Iraq illustrate how national
classified systems that underwrite large margins of victory in
conventional combat fail to inspire trust among allies during the
crucial, preceding stage of crisis bargaining. The volume offers
powerful arguments for a new direction in defence transformation.
