This book investigates how states in both the West and Asia have
responded to multi-dimensional security challenges since the end of
the Cold War, focusing on military transformation. Looking at a
cross-section of different countries, this volume assesses how
their armed forces have responded to a changing international
security context. The book investigates two main themes. First, how
the process of military 'transformation'- in terms of technological
advances and new ways of conducting warfare - has impacted on the
militaries of various countries. These technologies are hugely
expensive and the extent to which different states can afford them,
and the ability of these states to utilise these technologies,
differs greatly. Second, the volume investigates the social
dimensions of military transformation. It reveals the expanding
breadth of tasks that contemporary armed forces have been required
to address. This includes the need for military forces to work with
other actors, such as non-governmental agencies and humanitarian
organisations, and the ability of armed forces to fight asymmetric
opponents and conduct post-conflict reconstruction tasks. The
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan exemplified how important the
relationship between technological and social transformation has
become. This book will be of much interest to students of strategic
studies, military innovation, Asian politics, security studies and
International Relations.
