This book explores contemporary military innovation, with a
particular focus on the balance between anticipation and adaption.
The volume examines contemporary military thought and the doctrine
that evolved around the thesis of a transformation in the character
of war. Known as the Information-Technology Revolution in Military
Affairs (IT-RMA), this innovation served as an intellectual
foundation for the US defence transformation from the 1990s
onwards. Since the mid-1990s, professional ideas generated within
the American defence milieu have been further disseminated to
military communities across the globe, with huge impact on the
conduct of warfare. With chapters written by leading scholars in
this field, this work sheds light on RMAs in general and the IT-RMA
in the US, in particular. The authors analyse how military practice
and doctrines were developed on the basis of the IT-RMA ideas, how
they were disseminated, and the implications of them in several
countries and conflicts around the world. This book will be of much
interest to students of strategic studies, defence studies, war and
technology, and security studies in general.
