Summary

• "This book is a collection of selected papers presented at a symposium, Issues In Defence Management, held at Queen's University at Kingston in the spring of 1997 to consider the changes that are directing the ways and means of defence management in the post-Cold War era.
• It was evident from the discussions among military officers, departmental officials, and scholars that many of the concerns facing defence managers everywhere, cross international boundaries, extend beyond "alliance politics," and influence the policies and procedures of lesser states as much as they affect the major powers.
• Whatever the different views of the participants, there was agreement on one issue - the practice of managing resources for national defence has changed and will continue to change."--BOOK JACKET.
