Creating Military Power examines how societies, cultures, political structures, and the global environment affect countries' military organizations. Unlike most analyses of countries' military power, which focus on material and basic resources, such as the size of populations, technological and industrial base, and GNP, this volume takes a more expansive view. The study's overarching argument is that states' global environments and the particularities of their cultures, social structures, and political institutions often affect how they organize and prepare for war, and ultimately impact their effectiveness in battle. The creation of military power is only partially dependent on states' basic material and human assets. Wealth, technology, and human capital certainly matter for a country's ability to create military power, but equally important are the ways a state uses those resources, and this often depends on the political and social environment in which military activity takes place. Among the topics covered are: Nationalism, Military Effectiveness, Social Structure, Ethnicity, Political Institutions, Civil-Military Relations, Global Norms, International Competition, Alliances, and Military Outcomes.
