商品簡介
The so-called "Revolution in Military Affairs," based on the use of information technology to integrate long-range, precision-guided munitions; C4I (command, control, communications, computers, and information); and RSTA (reconnaissance, surveillance, and targeting acquisition) and associated changes in thinking about the combat environment followed remarkably different paths in the United States, Russia, and Israel, with the US developing the technology before making major conceptual changes, Russia developing the conceptual and theoretical ideas prior to possessing much of the technology, and Israel arriving very late at conceptual change despite its access to the technology. Adamsky (national security studies, Harvard U.) seeks to explain these disparities with constructivist theories about the imprint of cultural attributes on strategic behavior.
