    Content: "This textbook provides an accessible overview of US defense politics for upper-level students. This new edition has been fully updated and revised, with a new chapter on veterans and new material on topics such as cyberwarfare and lobbying. Analyzing the ways in which the United States prepares for war, the authors demonstrate how political and organizational interests determine US defense policy and warn against over-emphasis on planning, centralization, and technocracy. Emphasizing the process of defense policy-making rather than just the outcomes of that process, US Defense Politics departs from the traditional style of many existing textbooks. Designed to help students understand the practical side of American national security policy, the book examines the following key themes: - US grand strategy; - who joins America's military; - how and why weapons are bought; - the management of defense; - public attitudes toward the military and casualties; - the roles of the President and the Congress in controlling the military; - the effects of 9/11 and the Global War on Terror on security policy, homeland security, government reorganizations, and intra- and inter-service relations. The textbook will be essential reading for students of US defense politics, US national security policy and homeland security, and highly recommended for students of US foreign policy, US public policy and public administration."...Provided by publisher

    Content: In Buying Military Transformation, Peter Dombrowski and Eugene Gholz analyze the United States military's ongoing effort to capitalize on information technology. New ideas about military doctrine derived from comparisons to Internet Age business practices can be implemented only if the military buys technologically innovative weapons systems. Buying Military Transformation examines how political and military leaders work with the defense industry to develop the small ships, unmanned aerial vehicles, advanced communications equipment, and systems-of-systems integration that will enable the new military format.Dombrowski and Gholz's analysis integrates the political relationship between the defense industry and Congress, the bureaucratic relationship between the firms and the military services, and the technical capabilities of different types of businesses. Many government officials and analysts believe that only entrepreneurial start-up firms or leaders in commercial information technology markets can produce the new, network-oriented military equipment. But Dombrowski and Gholz find that the existing defense industry will be best able to lead military-technology development, even for equipment modeled on the civilian Internet. The U.S. government is already spending billions of dollars each year on its "military transformation" program-money that could be easily misdirected and wasted if policymakers spend it on the wrong projects or work with the wrong firms.In addition to this practical implication, Buying Military Transformation offers key lessons for the theory of "Revolutions in Military Affairs." A series of military analysts have argued that major social and economic changes, like the shift from the Agricultural Age to the Industrial Age, inherently force related changes in the military. Buying Military Transformation undermines this technologically determinist claim: commercial innovation does not directly determ

    Series Statement: Naval War College Newport papers 18
    Content: Der grafisch, tabellarisch und mit sehr zahlreichen Anmerkungen unterstützte Beitrag der Naval War College Newport Papers untersucht die Auswirkungen der Militärtransformation und insbesondere der Vernetzten Operationsführung auf die US-amerikanische Rüstungsindustrie. Nach einer einführenden Darstellung der Militärischen Transformation und der US-Rüstungsindustrie wird die Transformation der Marine und hier speziell die Vernetzte Operationsführung erläutert. Es folgt die Erörterung des Zusammenhangs von Transformation und Innovation, auch aus Sicht des Kunden. Anschließend wird die Entwicklung der Rüstungsindustrie nachgezeichnet, die durch Konsolidierung, Globalisierung und zivil-militärische Zusammenarbeit gekennzeichnet ist. Abschließend werden bestimmte Bereiche der Rüstungsindustrie näher beleuchtet (Kriegsschiffbau, Unbemannte Fahrzeuge und Systemintegration). Die Zusammenfassung mit Betonung der politischen und ökonomischen Abhängigkeiten der Transformation, ein Anhang mit regierungsamtlichen und sonstigen Interviews sowie ein sehr ausführliches Literaturverzeichnis beschließen den Beitrag.

    Content: Das US Militär wird überschüttet mit Visionen für eine zukünftige Struktur der Streitkräfte. Joint Vision 2020, wie auch Joint Vision 2010 gehen von Streitkräften aus, die allen Anforderungen militärisch denkbarer Operationen gewachsen sind. Die US Navy, mit ihrer Doktrin SEA POWER 21, rüstet sich im Informationszeitalter für den Network-Centric Warfare (NCW), mit einer in Echtzeit stattfindenden Lagebilderstellung bzw Zielzuweisung und Zielbekämpfung rund um den Globus. Vor diesem Hintergrund identifiziert das Dokument im ersten Kapitel notwendige Schlüsseltechnologien, die die Rüstungsindustrie weiterentwickeln muss, um entsprechende Ausrüstung zu Verfügung zu stellen, stellt im zweiten Kapitel Rahmenbedingungen für die Identifizierung von Rüstungsfirmen für entsprechende Aufträge dar, untersucht im dritten Kapitel Hauptentwicklungslinien in der Verteidigungsindustrie als Grundlage für die Analyse von Spezialgebieten in diesem Bereich, präsentiert im vierten Kapitel Fallstudien aus drei ausgewählten Rüstungsbereichen: 1) Schiffbau; 2) Unbemannte Fahrzeuge und 3) Systemintegration um im fünften Kapitel mit einer Empfehlung, die eine fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit zwischen Rüstungsindustrie und US Navy während des Transformationsprozesses sicherstellen soll, zu schließen.
