The author describes the continuity of the process in a clear and understandable way and emphasizes that it can perform its function only within a comprehensive system, and not as separate, often routinely performed tasks. He underlines that defence policy making and capability development make sense only when they manage to achieve an effect at the lowest level &amp;ndash; the combat units&amp;rsquo; capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since science is not national, but international, it naturally evolves within paradigms set by policy and defence research centres in the leading nations. We must, however, take into account the differences in the application of the basic principles due to differences in scale, geography and national power. Based on the stated general principles, the security environment and the existing objective limitations, the author presents his position on the development of the Bulgaria&amp;#39;s defence policy until 2032. The monograph concludes by outlining the necessary changes in the way of managing capability development in order to avoid future conclusions of yet more &amp;ldquo;lost years&amp;rdquo; in developing Bulgaria&amp;rsquo;s defence&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This monograph is a sequel of author&amp;rsquo;s MA theses &amp;ldquo;Ambitions in the defence policy of the Republic of Bulgaria&amp;rdquo; (National Defence College &amp;ldquo;G.S. Rakovski,&amp;rdquo; 2008), &amp;ldquo;The Bulgarian Armed Forces as an instrument of national policy in the changing armed conflict&amp;rdquo;(Sofia University &amp;ldquo;St. Kliment Ohridski,&amp;rdquo; 2009), the PhD thesis &amp;ldquo;Shaping the Defence Policy of the Republic of Bulgaria (1990-2010)&amp;rdquo; (National Defence College &amp;ldquo;G.S.

The primary purpose of the simulation is to educate students, mostly senior military and civilian MOD personnel, in the intricacies of defence planning in a changing environment, and to provide ‘hands on’ experience in defence programming and budgeting. In addition, it allows exploring the space of potential policy alternatives, force structuring and programming decisions, thus serving as a powerful decision support </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record></records></xml>
