Sloan examines the RMA in the context of Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in addition to assessing the transformation efforts of the United States Military. She concludes that small and medium military powers such as Canada must, at a minimum, take selected, concrete measures to maximize their military capabilities through the RMA if they are to avoid operational and political marginalisation in the promotion of international peace and security.Foreign policy, security, and strategic studies.Military art and scienceTechnological innovationsHistory20th centurySecurity, InternationalArt et science militairesInnovationsHistoire20e siecleSecurite internationaleCanadaMilitary policyCanadaPolitique militaireMilitary art and scienceTechnological innovationsHistorySecurity, International.Art et science militairesInnovationsHistoireSecurite internationale.355/.0330049Sloan Elinor C(Elinor Camille),1965-1105301Universite du Quebec a Montreal.Centre d'etudes des politiques etrangeres et de securite.Raoul-Dandurand Chair of Strategic and Diplomatic Studies.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910658211603321The revolution in military affairs2644171UNINA
