Irrespective of terrorist threats and local insurgencies, the present international structure is remarkably stable - none of the major powers seeks to alter the system from its present liberal character, as demonstrated by the lack of a military response to US military primacy. This primacy privileges the American military doctrine and thus the importance of NCW, which promises a future of rapid, precise, and highly efficient operations, but also a future predicated on the ‘digitization’ of the battle space. Participation in future American-led military endeavours will require coalition partners to be networked: ‘interoperability’ will therefore be a key consideration of a partner’s strategic worth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNetwork Centric Warfare and Coalition Operations\u003c\/em\u003e will be of great interest to students of strategic studies, international security, US foreign policy and international relations in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234373554520,"sku":"9780415849043","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415849043.jpg?v=1769688024","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/network-centric-warfare-and-coalition-operations","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
