Unlike most analyses of countries' military power, which focus on material and basic resources - such as the size of population, technological and industrial base, and gross national product (GNP) - this volume takes a more expansive view. Its overarching argument is that states' global environments and the particularities of their cultures, social structures, and political institutions often affect how they organize and prepare for war, and ultimately impact their effectiveness in battle.Military readinessFBCMilitary art and scienceHistory20th centuryFBCArmed ForcesHistory20th centuryFBCMilitærvidenskabFBCMilitærhistorieFBCMilitary readiness.Military art and scienceHistoryArmed ForcesHistoryMilitærvidenskabMilitærhistorie355/.0332355.02zBrooks Risa1579907Stanley Elizabeth A1579908MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778254103321Creating military power3860327UNINA
