FERNANDEZ-OSORIO, Andrés Eduardo. Full Spectrum Operations: the Rationale Behind the 2008 Russian Military Reform?. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.15, pp.63-86. ISSN 1900-6586.

This paper examines contemporary Russian military thinking in relation with the concept of modern warfare and its adequateness to manage future threats and challenges. After providing an analysis on Russia's defence and security policies and the historical transformation of its military, this paper argues that the concept of full spectrum operations has been key factor to plan and develop the 2008 Russian Military Reform. In addition, it provides a framework to both analyse Russia's international policy and its influence on the international system, and endorses this reform as a remarkable case study for the discipline of military sciences.

Palabras clave : full spectrum operations; military doctrine; modernisation; Russian military reform.
