Opis

Many advanced commercial technologies offer opportunities to support military modernization. This process of exploiting civilian-based advanced technologies is increasingly referred to as 'military-civil fusion' (MCF). This book addresses MCF from a comparative standpoint, examining how four different countries are attempting to leverage MCF.

Recenzje

'Two long-time observers of the changing global landscape for military technologies, Evron and Bitzinger have written an important and timely book on military-civil fusion. It has a clarifying conceptual chapter, and two on the US and China, respectively. Better, and of interest to policymakers and scholars across the globe, it applies ideas about military-civil fusion to two other critical cases - Israel and India. This is a must-read for scholars of military innovation and the shifting balance of military capabilities across the globe.' Peter Dombrowski, William B. Ruger Chair of National Security Economics, Naval War College
