Abstract

The recent revival in the study of grand strategy owes much to the search for meaning about the West’s global purpose after the failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. Long dominated by writing on the United States, the field is now more diverse than ever and unlikely to disappear any time soon, as scholars come under pressure to produce work deemed relevant to those in power. The urge to generate useful lessons for governments can undermine the search for original knowledge as the basic purpose of scholarly research, though this is not always the case. This tendency is, however, evident in the titles under review.
