IISS Adelphi Papers #318 'The Revolution In Strategic Affairs' (1998)
This authoritative series of books on issues of international security is the Institute's principal contribution to policy-relevant, original academic research.
Since the Gulf War, a revolution in military affairs has been proclaimed in the US-based on the combination of precision guidance of weapons and new information technologies. This paper argues that this revolution must be seen in the context of equally far-reaching political changes. The author examines the strategies and instruments that may be used by the weak against the strong. These include weapons of mass destruction and `information war'.
