- W2186174612 abstract "During the 1990s two concepts became central to military discourse: The Revolution in Military Affairs, RMA, the way that changes in technology were transforming fighting, and Asymmetric Warfare, the way that opponents would respond to a dominant military power by fighting in ways that the dominant power did not expect or prepare against. Neither concept is new; there have been a series of revolutions in military technology (Kirkpatrick, 2000) and attacking in ways that your opponent did not expect has been the basis of strategy since at least Sun Tzu in the fourth century BC, Newman (2000). However, there has been considerable dispute about exactly how each should be defined in the current context. Definitions of the RMA tended to emphasise the way that improvements in information technology, precision targeting and smart munitions created the possibility of a new form of network-centric warfare. Definitions of asymmetric warfare have emphasised asymmetries in technology, tactics and stakes. Despite having massive technological and military superiority; the US withdrew from Lebanon in 1983 after a suicide bombing killed 241 troops and from Somalia in 1993 after a battle in Mogadishu, in which television covered the brutal treatment of two American corpses and one injured prisoner. This paper discusses some aspects of these concepts emphasising the economic issues involved. We will draw on comparisons between the putative New Economy of defence, the RMA and asymmetric warfare, and the putative New Economy in Civilian life, where changes in technology transforming production and distribution and dominant incumbents, like IBM, were vulnerable to attack by then small competitors, like Intel and Microsoft, following different strategies." @default.
