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. 606 $aMilitary readiness$2FBC 606 $aMilitary art and science$xHistory$y20th century$2FBC 606 $aArmed Forces$xHistory$y20th century$2FBC 606 $aMilitærvidenskab$2FBC 606 $aMilitærhistorie$2FBC 615 7$aMilitary readiness. 615 7$aMilitary art and science$xHistory 615 7$aArmed Forces$xHistory 615 7$aMilitærvidenskab 615 7$aMilitærhistorie 676 $a355/.0332 686 $a355.02$2z 701 $aBrooks$b Risa$01579907 701 $aStanley$b Elizabeth A$01579908 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778254103321 996 $aCreating military power$93860327 997 $aUNINA
