The Changing Face of Military Power Joint

Since the end of the Cold War, the use of military power in a multpolar world has become increasingly complicated. Strategy, operational conduct, and technology have become key issues in the debate over the role of the military. Contributors to this volume analyze the ways in which the Forces are deployed, despite the fact that their essential purpose, to fulfill policy, remains the same.

Andrew Dorman is Lecturer in Defence Studies, Joint Services Command and Staff College.

M. L. R. Smith is Lecturer in the Department of War Studies, King's College, London.

Matthew Uttley is Senior Lecturer in Defence Studies, Joint Services and Command Staff College.
