Abstract

The military innovation system that emerged in the West during the Cold War, is now subject to a process of change that will fundamentally alter its relationship with its environment. The article discusses the main characteristics of this “closed” system, and analyzes the factors, both technological and strategic, that are leading to its transformation. The transition towards a more “open” system, in which the field of “defence and security policy” is no longer clearly bounded, will be long and complex, but will have important implications for the overall mode of knowledge generation and diffusion.
