The Evolution of Modern Grand Strategic Thought de Lukas Milevski

The Evolution of Modern Grand Strategic Thought

Autor Lukas Milevski
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mai 2016
In strategic studies and international relations, grand strategy is a frequently-invoked concept. Yet, despite its popularity, it is not well understood and it has many definitions, some of which are even mutually contradictory. This state of affairs undermines its usefulness for scholars and practitioners alike. Lukas Milevski aims to remedy this situation by offering a conceptual history of grand strategy in the English language, analysing its evolution from 1805 to the present day in the writings of its major proponents. In doing so, he seeks to clarify the meaning and role of the concept, both theoretically and practically, and shed light on its continuing utility today.

Recenzii

Relatively short, although clearly argued and consistently interesting.
This book is a wonderful and concise treatise that in some ways will remind readers of Edward Mead Earle's original Makers of Modern Strategy which was published at the end of World War II. The author captures the varied insights among the giants (Mahan, Corbett, Edward M. Earle, Kahn, and Brodie) that have enriched our understanding of the apex of strategy. The book's core achievement is how it captures the subtle shifts in scholars' thinking about grand strategy in a very succinct format. With little doubt, this book will take a distinctive place in the strategic studies field.
The Evolution of Modern Grand Strategic Thought is a highly original work that offers numerous insights. It makes an important, unique contribution to the field of strategic studies and should be widely read. The book offers significant insights for strategists, policymakers, academics and those deeply concerned with understanding the subtle art of grand strategy and its further development.
This is an accomplished contribution to the literature on the history of strategic theory, precisely because it illuminates how policy debates and changing geopolitical circumstances have altered the meaning of a concept.
In addition to providing its intellectual history, Milevski offers a clear, compelling critique of grand strategic thinking...an extremely timely, efficient work on grand strategy that I believe will greatly improve the quality of debate aboutand appreciation forthe subject.
