Sinopsis

Leading international scholars provide complete coverage of key enduring, contemporary and emerging issues in strategic studies
Tailored learning features encourage students to develop critical thinking skills and encourage readers to reflect upon and evaluate a wide range of perspectives
Updated student and lecturer online resources ensure lively engagement with content during teaching activities
New to this Edition:
New chapter 19 on non-Western perspectives broadens students´ understanding of key global approaches to strategy, and facilitates critical reflection on the limitations inherent within Western-dominated approaches to issues in strategic studies.
New chapter 15 on geography and strategy provides fully updated coverage of key developments in strategic warfare. Includes comprehensive treatment of air power and maritime strategy and engages fully with the rapid expansion of space and cyber warfare.



Bringing together international experts to provide a comprehensive introduction to strategic studies, this is the only overview to critically engage with both enduring and contemporary issues that dominate strategy. Throughout the chapters readers are encouraged to explore key debates and alternative perspectives. A boxed debates feature considers key controversies and presents opposing arguments, helping students to build critical thinking skills and reflect upon a wide range of perspectives.

The new edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest developments in the field of strategic studies. A new chapter 18 on ´The West and the Rest´ explores the limitations and problems strategic studies face when dealing with security challenges in the Global South, stressing the importance of diversity in the field and the important contributions the non-Western world has made to international relations theories and concepts. Chapter 14 on ´Geography and Strategy´ considers important developments in air power, maritime strategy and the rapid expansion of space and cyber warfare.

This text is supported by fully updated online resources, to encourage deeper engagement with content.
