This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. The revolution in military affairs (RMA) is an American concept that frames a debate about the restructuring of American military forces in the period of globalization of the American economy. A core task for U.S. allies is to seek to understand the American debate and to identity opportunities for and the risks to themselves in variant patterns of development of the American military in the years ahead.
An RMA rests upon a dramatic restructuring of the American economy. New technologies are correlated with significant changes in organizational structures. The restructuring of the American military is occurring in the context of restructuring American society and expanded global reach for the United States. It is part of a much broader process of change within the United States and in the relationship of the United States to the world.
As such, for core allies the United States poses a number of challenges simultaneously. European and Asian allies are struggling to redefine their economic models. The Europeans will enter a new phase of development with the emergence of the Euro zone. Associated with this change are dramatic efforts to restructure European culture and economies as well. The enlargement of the European Union comes on top of this and is part of the dynamic process of change. In Asia, the currency crisis is part of a broader stimulus for change in the Japanese and less-developed Asian economies. The American economic restructuring is both stimulus and challenge to change in Asia.
