This book addresses the 'blank sheet of paper' problem. When given a blank sheet of paper and asked to imagine a new grand strategy or to revise or even critique an existing one where should you start? There is no other book that answers this question. There are many books and articles on the history of specific grand strategies and numerous others that advocate a particular grand strategy that a specific nation - usually America - should adopt. None however, take an approach that can be easily applied to new and emerging grand strategy problems of any country or organisation. Illustrating this, the book's case studies examine various grand strategies of a uniquely diverse range of countries and organisations to reveal why they succeeded - or not. The book is deliberately designed to allow busy people to understand and apply grand strategy to solve complex, real world problems.Drawing on recent studies in cognition, and integrating contemporary international relations theories, the book develops a lucid and structured way for us to think better about grand strategy. The case studies include: US Iraq War Grand Strategy 1991-1992Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eeelam (LTTE) Grand Strategy 1990-2002Soviet Union D tente Grand Strategy 1965-1980US ERP (Marshall Plan) Grand Strategy 1947-52Iranian Hezbollah Grand Strategy 1982-2006British Interwar Appeasement Grand Strategy 1934-1939British Malayan Emergency Grand Strategy 1948-1960Landmines Ban Campaign Grand Strategy 1992-1999US Iraq Regime Change Grand Strategy 2002-2003The Kindle edition of this book is the same except for the diagrams which in the Kindle version have been recreated as tables due to formatting issues.
