Opis: If War Comes Tomorrow? Contours of Future Armed Conflict - Makhmut Akhmetovich Garev, General Makhmut Akhmetovich Gareev, Gareev

Military affairs have been affected by major changes in the 19902. The bipolar world of two superpowers has gone. The Cold War and the global military confrontation that accompanied it have ended. A new military and political order has emerged, but the world has not become more stable, indeed, wars and armed conflict have become much more common. Forecasting the contours of future armed conflict is the primary object of this work. Focusing on the impact of new technologies, General Gareev considers whether war is still a "continuation of politics by other means" or whether political, ideological and technical transformations have broken that connection. He explores the linkage beween threats to Russian national interests and war as an instrument of policy, and concludes that there is very little prospect either of nuclear war or widespread conventional war. However, he does see local armed conflicts and local wars increasing, with greater emphasis on subversion. He argues that coming decades wil see a shift toward reliance upon indirect means to accomplish limited political ends, and analyzes both information warfare and the revolution in military affairs from this persIntroduction - the contours of futre armed conflice and their interpreter - implications for national and international security policy; Political and military-technical factors and armed struggle - future wars - sources and causes; military-technical progress and its influence on the nature of armed struggle; distinctive features of future armed struggle; prospects for military construction; basic directions for perfection of training of the armed forces.
