War in the Information Age: New Challenges to U.S.Security Policy (Association of the United States Army S.) - Hardcover

How will the information age alter the international geopolitical setting and transform the military's operational environment? And how are changes in technology likely to affect the military equipment, force structure, doctrine and training? These are just a few of the vital questions answered by this title which gathers together contributions from experts in policy, academia, the military, the media and industry. The contributors address the security implications of an increasing reliance on information technologies for competitiveness, economic infrastructure and military operations. The book is a result of a high-level conference convened by: the International Security Studies Program of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University; the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army for Operations and Plans; the US Army Louisiana Maneuvers Task Force; and the Army War College.
