| Abstract
|
:
|
"The Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) entails a sweeping redefinition of the field of strategic studies, one that rhymes with sea changes experienced in a wide domain of other realms. While the RMA is usually discussed in relation to Middle Eastern politics or to the military adventures of "great powers," this endeavor veers off the beaten track to examine the manifestations of the Revolution in Military Affairs in two of the most strategically important countries in Latin America."--BOOK JACKET.
