Description:
This analysis of the thoroughgoing change effected in the US defense industry shows that the Pentagon's traditional partners are taking a back seat behind private, for-profit service providers. These firms, which provide military services and the ''information technology'' necessary for modern warfare, now play a key role in the American national security system. Among the factors accounting for this unprecedented sharing of a classical government prerogative with private firms are the redefinition of the government's role, the technological revolution and the strategic environment related to the global war against terrorism. This role-sharing brings new forces into play. The Defense Department is externalizing strategic activities without all the legislative and institutional means for regulating them, whence the risk of a crisis in the military establishment. The mixed systems coming out of this change are a driving force in altering the civilian and military capability to project power and intervene in the world.
