Summary/Abstract: The Revolution in Military Affairs is a US and USSR - invented concept which describes operational and organizational changes plus the transformation of military technology, all those being factors which allow a state to get predominance as a military power vis a vis its rivals. One of the central problems in understanding the current debate over RMA is due to many theorists’ use of the term as referring to the revolutionary technology itself, which is the driving force of change. Concurrently, other theorists tend to use the term as referring to revolutionary adaptations by military organisations that may be necessary to deal with the changes in technology. Other theorists place RMA more closely inside the specific political and economic context of globalization at the end of the Cold War.
