This comprehensive book delves into the profound effects of 4IR on military affairs, offering a comprehensive understanding of how both large and small militaries are actively seeking to harness the potential of these emerging technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe core themes explored in this edited volume revolve around the historical context of previous Revolutions in Military Affairs, comparing the role of emerging technologies in shaping the trajectory of military innovation. It also examines the diverse approaches taken by large resource-rich states like the United States, China, and Russia, as well as small resource-limited states such as Israel, Sweden, and Norway, in adopting and integrating novel technologies. The book further explores the distinctions between various innovation and adaptation models employed by different nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to examining the operational implications of emerging technologies in potential flashpoints such as the South China Sea and the Baltic Sea, the book sheds light on the varying defense innovation trajectories, enablers, and constraints encountered by nations in their pursuit of military-technological advantages. Written by a distinguished group of international scholars, this book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics shaping the future of warfare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies, further contributing to the ongoing discourse on military innovation and its implications for global security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032213996\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45179467792634,"sku":"9781032213996","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_45f894b9-ee65-4553-9e92-cb0b56151977.jpg?v=1707753936","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/defence-innovation-and-the-4th-industrial-revolution-security-challenges-emerging-technologies-and-military-implications-9781032213996","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
