This volume analyses several recent evolutions in global defence
activities. Since the 1990s the industry has gradually repositioned
because of geostrategic transformations, spatial reorganisation,
budgetary trends, and evolutions within the production of defence
per se, which have disrupted its economic and social fabric. These
changes widen the scope of industrial activities and modify the
organization of relations between armed forces, firms and local
economies as well as society. They deeply affect the footprints of
defence in several dimensions and its impacts on local communities,
public/private boundaries and evolving requirements of armed
forces. This volume analyses key features of recent and ongoing
transformations of defence issues, from four perspectives. The
first section considers those factors which are redefining the
boundaries of defence, with a focus on defence economics; part two
focuses on the spatial footprint of defence and its transformations
and analyses the insertion of defence activities within urban
landscapes; the third part analyses how armed forces manage their
human resources; and the final section considers the international
landscape of defence.
