A generation after the First Persian Gulf War, and in the wake of a decade of counterinsurgency operations and irregular warfare, this edited collection explores how the concept of the Revolution in Military Affairs continues to shape the way militaries think about, plan and fight wars. The contributors grant particular attention to the ways in which advances in military technology, thinking and doctrine – particularly by Western militaries - were understood and reacted to by a variety of different actors across the globe. Collectively, they consider the implications for the future of warfare as we approach an uncertain geopolitical future.
