The Changing Face of Military Power : Joint Warfare in an Expeditionary Era

With the end of the cold war, perceptions of the role of armed forces in the international environment changed dramatically and led to a critical re-evaluation of defence budgets, defence bureaucracies and defence roles.

This volume brings together eminent scholars in the field of defence studies to assess the changing dynamics of military power.

It focuses in particular on the move towards joint service co-operation as a way of minimizing costs and increasing efficiency.
