| Description | The article deals with the issue of Information Revolution (IR), Military-Technical Revolution (MTR) and Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA). Since 1980s it is possible to identify changes in military- strategic dimension which are associated with these concepts. On the other hand, their nature is often confused. The aim of this article is to provide detailed conceptualization of IR, MTR and RMA. First, we analyse the development of debate about these concept which provide initial insight into the formation and establishment of these phenomena. Then, we examine all three concepts in terms of their common and different features. Identification of these characteristics should help to more accurately distinguish among IR, MTR and RMA. This article seeks to contribute into the debate about these concepts and help to precisely classify changes in military-strategic dimension. |
