| This seminar examines the fundamentals of grand strategy in theory and in practice. It addresses the historical moment in which the modern concept of grand strategy was born and explores the major debates that have animated scholars and practitioners since. We focus on the core building blocks of grand strategy: the elements of national power that are available to be coordinated and applied in a coherent fashion across policy contexts. We analyze historical case studies to explore how the modern concept of grand strategy can be retrospectively applied to explain state behavior across time and diverse contexts. The seminar ultimately aims to prepare future Army officers to apply concepts from grand strategy to analyze and address complex problem sets in the contemporary international environment. |
