La transformation des armées
Depuis la fin de la guerre froide, les organisations militaires ont connu de profondes transformations. Professionnelles et engagées dans des conflits asymétriques, elles se sont « adaptées » aux bouleversements d'un environnement stratégique qui n'est plus régulé par l’équilibre entre superpuissances. Pourtant, le secteur militaire, pour aussi discipliné et régalien qu’il est perçu, ne se réforme pas d’une façon plus autoritaire que n’importe quel autre.

Getting MAD: Nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction, Its Origins and Practice
Nearly 40 years after the concept of finite deterrence was popularized by the Johnson administration, nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) thinking appears to be in decline. The United States has rejected the notion that threatening population centers with nuclear attacks is a legitimate way to assure deterrence. Most recently, it withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, an agreement based on MAD. American opposition to MAD also is reflected in the Bush administration's desire to develop smaller, more accurate nuclear weapons that would reduce the number of innocent civilians killed in a nuclear strike. Still, MAD is influential in a number of ways. First, other countries, like C...
Flying Tiger
Ulrich Krotz's 'Flying Tiger' takes a relatively obscure episode - the joint Franco-German production of a very expensive military helicopter, the Tiger helicopter - to make a groundbreaking theoretical contribution to international relations scholarship.
