Examines how the provision of military security through technology and national wealth has been a key element of state policy since 1945, implications for relations with the US, and for regional and international security.

In their repeated attempts to refute the "China threat" syndrome, Chinese leaders stress, among other things, the 25 percent cut of about one million troops in the size of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), announced in the mid-1980s. The author explores demobilization under Mao Zedong and after his death and problems and implications of demobilization. He points out that ostensibly, China's post-Mao demobilization has been remarkable. Within a few years over one million troops, one quarter of the PLA, have reportedly been transferred to civilian life. China's military strength is compared with those of some other countries.

Throughout its history, the U.S. military has worked in close connection to market-based institutions and structures. It has run systems of free and unfree labor, taken over private sector firms, and both spurred and snuffed out economic development. It has created new markets—for consumer products, for sex work, and for new technologies. It has operated as a regulator of industries and firms and an arbitrator of labor practices. And in recent decades it has gone so far as to refashion itself from the inside, so as to become more similar to a for-profit corporation.The Military and the Market covers two centuries of history of the U.S. military's vast and varied economic operations, including its often tense relationships with capitalist markets. Collecting new scholarship at the intersection of the fields of military history, business history, policy history, and the history of capitalism, the nine chapters feature important new research on subjects ranging from Civil War soldier-entrepreneurs, to the business of the construction of housing and overseas bases for the Cold War, to the U.S. military's troubled relationships with markets for sex. The volume enriches scholars' understandings of the depth and complexity of military-market relations in U.S. history and offers today's military policymakers novel insights about the origins of current arrangements and how they might be reimagined.Contributors: Jessica L.

International audience ; The defence industry has undergone major changes since the fall of the Berlin Wall. National defence strategies have not yet been changed, even though the balance of military power has changed. R&D is the keystone of military superiority. However, transfers between military and civilian technologies presupposed an adjustment of priorities between technical performance and conversion costs and the civilian interest in innovation. Duality is therefore not self-evident, particularly in terms of substitution or cooperation from the military to the civilian sector of production processes in the context of disarmament. Several questions then arise concerning the crowding-out effect (choice of military or civilian R&D) or the demand-pull effect. As tensions between the superpowers diminish, civil and military R&D must work more closely together, in both directions, in view of the development of the digital economy. ; L'industrie de la défense connaît de fortes évolutions depuis la chute du mur de Berlin. Les stratégies défense nationale n'ont pas encore été modifiées, alors même qu'il en va différemment pour les rapports de force militaires. La R&D constitue la clé de voûte de la supériorité militaire. Cependant, les transferts entre les technologies militaires et civiles supposent une adaptation des priorités entre la performance technique et les coûts de la conversion et de l'intérêt civil de l'innovation. La dualité ne va donc pas de soi, notamment en termes de substitution ou de coopération du secteur militaire vers le secteur civil des processus de production dans le cadre d'un désarmement. Plusieurs questions se posent alors concernant l'effet d'éviction (choix de la R&D militaire ou civil) ou l'effet de traction de la demande. Avec la réduction des tensions entre les superpuissances, les R&D civiles et militaires doivent collaborer plus étroitement, dans les deux sens, eu égard au développement de l'économie numérique.
