New Directions in Strategic Thinking 2.0: ANU Strategic & Defence Studies Centre’s Golden Anniversary Conference Proceedings

by Russell W. Glenn (editor)

About this book

This collection considers the changing purposes and methods of strategic studies, drawing on the Strategic & Defence Studies Centre’s fiftieth-anniversary conference. Contributors examine the relationship between military strategy, economic power, geography and the choices available to governments.

Chapters discuss East Asian security, nuclear strategy after the Cold War and the continued influence of older strategic concepts. Australian, South-East Asian and American perspectives provide contrasting accounts of how strategic analysis works in practice. The concluding essays ask how the field might develop, while appendices preserve a keynote address and the conference programme. A bibliography supports further reading.
