Dr. Ina Wiesner

doi:10.5771/9783845247908

Summary

Der Band wirft einen genaueren Blick auf die Übernahme des US-Militärs Konzept des Network-Centric Warfare (NCW) durch die britische und deutsche Armee. Die Autorin deckt markante Abweichungen im Ergebnis der Übernahme zwischen den beiden Fällen auf und bietet einen institutionalistischen Ansatz zur Erklärung der Diffusionsdynamiken von militärischen Innovationen.
