Air power and political culture / Charles M. Westenhoff - Canberra : Air Power Studies Centre, 1996. - 24 p. - Paper (Australia. Royal Australian Air Force. Air Power Studies Centre) ; no. 42. .
This paper develops the argument that air forces rarely achieve their material potential. Thia is because to be effective, the role of democratic institutions and value systems have both current and future significance. The culture of free market democracy favours air power, while authoritarian nations might avert any challenge the air force might pose to the state.
