Doctrine, Innovation, and Competition --Postscript: After the Cold War --Notes --Bibliography --IndexDid a "doctrine race" exist alongside the much-publicized arms competition between East and West? Using recent insights from organization theory, Kimberly Marten Zisk answers this question in the affirmative. Zisk challenges the standard portrayal of Soviet military officers as bureaucratic actors wedded to the status quo: she maintains that when they were confronted by a changing external security environment, they reacted by producing innovative doctrine. The author's extensive evidence is drawn from newly declassified Soviet military journals, and from her interviews with retired high-ranking Soviet General Staff officers and highly placed Soviet-Russian civilian defense experts. According to Zisk, the Cold War in Europe was powerfully influenced by the reactions of Soviet military officers and civilian defense experts to modifications in U.S. and NATO military doctrine. Zisk also asserts that, contrary to the expectations of many analysts, civilian intervention in military policy-making need not provoke pitched civil-military conflict. Under Gorbachev's leadership, for instance, great efforts were made to ensure that "defensive defense" policies reflected military officers' input and expertise. Engaging the Enemy makes an important contribution not only to the theory of military organizations and the history of Soviet military policy but also to current policy debates on East-West security issues. Kimberly Marten Zisk is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Faculty Associate of the Mershon Center at the Ohio State University.Military doctrineSoviet UnionElectronic books.Military doctrine355.02/0947Marten Kimberly Zisk1963-1016149MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248278203316Engaging the enemy2376260UNISA02313nam 2200469 450 99647206010331620221122162205.0981-19-1926-7(MiAaPQ)EBC6961060(Au-PeEL)EBL6961060(CKB)21605781800041(PPN)262169010(EXLCZ)992160578180004120221122d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLightning discharges formation, terminologies, measurements and theory /Pitri Bhakta Adhikari and Aashutosh AdhikariSingapore :Springer,[2022]©20221 online resource (103 pages)SpringerBriefs in applied sciences and technologyPrint version: Adhikari, Pitri Bhakta Lightning Discharges Singapore : Springer,c2022 9789811919251 1. Introduction 2. Lightning terminology 3. Types of Lightning 4. Preliminary Theory of Lightning 5. Measurement of Lightning 6. ReferencesThis book highlights the basic information about lightning. It is an unpredictable disaster, and it is an extremely complex electrical discharge phenomenon. A complete theory of lightning does not exist till now. This book elaborates on the basic formation of lightning, terminologies related to lightning, and the preliminary lightning theory. There are different types of lightning, such as cloud flashes, ground flashes (both positive and negative), and air discharges. This book explains some unusual events related to lightning and inspects innovation. This book also describes the measurement of electric and magnetic fields generated by lightning, which are the basic parameters for lightning fundamentals.SpringerBriefs in applied sciences and technologyLightningLightningRisk assessmentLightning.LightningRisk assessment.551.5632Adhikari Pitri Bhakta1223271Adhikari AashutoshMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996472060103316Lightning Discharges2837591UNISA
