    OUP UNCORRECTED AUTOPAGE PROOF – FIRSTPROOFS, Sat Sep 19 2020, NEWGEN C& Introduction Christopher McKnight Nichols and Andrew Preston C&.P' What is grand strategy? What does it aim to achieve? Does it have relevance— and, if so, applicability—beyond questions of war and peace? And what di!erentiates it from normal strategic thought— what, in other words, makes it “grand”? C&.P( In recent years, historians and other scholars have o!ered useful de"nitions, most of which coalesce around the notion that grand strategy is an ampli"cation of the “normal” strategic practice of deploying various means to attain speci"c ends.1 “#e crux of grand strategy,” writes Paul Kennedy, co- founder of the in$uential Grand Strategy program at Yale University, “lies . in policy, that is, in the capacity of the nation’s leaders to bring together all the elements, both military and nonmilitary, for the preservation and enhancement of the nation’s long-term (that is, in war- time and peacetime) best interests.”2 John Lewis Gaddis, the program’s co- founder with Kennedy, de"nes grand strategy succinctly as “the align- ment of potentially unlimited aspirations with necessarily limited capabil- ities.”3 Hal Brands, an alumnus of Yale’s program and a contributor to this volume, observes that grand strategy is best understood as an “intellectual architecture that lends structure to foreign policy; it is the logic that helps states navigate a complex and dangerous world.”4 Peter Feaver, who followed Yale’s model when establishing a grand strategy program at Duke University, is somewhat more speci"c: “Grand strategy refers to the collection of plans and policies that comprise the state’s deliberate e!ort to harness political, military, diplomatic, and economic tools together to advance that state’s na- tional interest.”5 International Relations theorist Stephen Walt is even more precise: “A state’s grand strategy is its plan for making itself secure.

  • Is Grand Strategy a Research Program? a Review Essay
    SECURITY STUDIES 2019, VOL. 28, NO. 1, 58–86 https://doi.org/10.1080/09636412.2018.1508631 Is Grand Strategy a Research Program? A Review Essay Thierry Balzacq, Peter Dombrowski and Simon Reich ABSTRACT The literature on grand strategy is dynamic and voluminous. Yet a vital set of questions remains unsettled. There is little agreement on such basic issues as a common definition of grand strategy, the appropriate methods that should be employed in studying it, which countries qualify as compara- tive cases, and whether the purpose of research is explanatory or prescriptive. This article examines four recent, important books as a platform for addressing these issues and argues that, as currently constituted, grand strategy is a field of study rather than a mature research program. It concludes by offer- ing a modest range of options that can be employed to rect- ify these problems and develop a comparative grand strategy program. What Good Is Grand Strategy?

  • Unrest Assured Nuno P. Monteiro Why Unipolarity Is Not Peaceful
    Unrest Assured Unrest Assured Nuno P. Monteiro Why Unipolarity Is Not Peaceful Since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than two decades ago, the United States has been the world’s sole great power. It maintains a military that is one order of magnitude more powerful than any other;1 defense spending close to half of global mili- tary expenditures;2 a blue-water navy superior to all others combined;3 a chance at a splendid nuclear ªrst strike over its erstwhile foe, Russia;4 ade- fense research and development budget that is 80 percent of the total defense expenditures of its most obvious future competitor, China;5 and unmatched global power-projection capabilities.6 The post–Cold War international system is thus unipolar. The end of the Cold War took most observers by surprise, with little thought having been given to the possibility of a unipolar world.7 Since then, however, a sizable literature on the topic has begun to focus on two issues: the durability and peacefulness of unipolar systems.8 Nuno P. Monteiro is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Yale University. The author is grateful for comments and suggestions from Daniel Abebe, Navin Bapat, Stephen Brooks, Jonathan Caverley, Keith Darden, Alexandre Debs, Samuel DeCanio, Charles Glaser, Daragh Grant, Vaidyanatha Gundlupet, Paul Kennedy, Matthew Kocher, Christopher Layne, Charles Lipson, Justin Logan, John Mearsheimer, Harris Mylonas, Kevin Narizny, Robert Pape, Negeen Pegahi, Joshua Rovner, Keven Ruby, Bruce Russett, John Schuessler, Todd Sechser, Duncan Snidal, Stephen Walt, William Wohlforth, and the anonymous reviewers, as well as for helpful crit- ical feedback from seminar participants at the University of Chicago PISP and PIPES workshops, and the 2009 annual meetings of the American Political Science Association and the International Studies Association.

  • Culture Clash Assessing the Importance of Ideas in Security Studies
    Culture Clash Assessing the Importance of Ideas in Security Studies I Cultural theories have long enjoyed a prominent place in the field of international security. Indeed, two waves have come and gone since the start of World War 11, and we are now at the high watermark of a third.' Today's culturalists in national security studies are a heterogeneous lot, who bring a variety of theories to the table. However, virtually all new culturalists in security studies are united in their belief that realism, the dominant research program in international relations that emphasizes factors such as the material balance of power, is an overrated, if not bankrupt, body of theory, and that cultural theories, which look to ideational factors, do a much better job of explaining how the world works. This article assesses this latest wave of cultural theories in security studies by focusing on some of its most prominent examples. There is no question that virtually all cultural theories tell us something about how states behave. The crucial question, however, is whether these new theories merely supplement realist theories or actually threaten to supplant them. I argue that when cul- tural theories are assessed using evidence from the real world, there is no reason to think that they will relegate realist theories to the dustbin of social Michael C.

  • The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers in the Twenty-ªrst Century
    Great Powers in the 21st Century The Rise and Fall of Stephen G. Brooks and the Great Powers in William C. Wohlforth the Twenty-ªrst Century China’s Rise and the Fate of America’s Global Position Unipolarity is argu- ably the most popular concept analysts use to assess the U.S. position in the in- ternational system that emerged in the wake of the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991.1 The concept’s origins lie in a major academic literature devoted to ex- plaining large-scale patterns of behavior in international systems. The basic in- sight is that the number of powerful states or “poles” at the top signiªcantly inºuences how international politics works. In recent years, however, the concept has been more likely to serve a rather different purpose: to gauge change in today’s international system. In response to the ªnancial crisis of 2008 and the continued economic ascent of China, pundits, policymakers, gov- ernment analysts, and scholars frequently and prominently argue that the United States has tumbled from its dominant position and that a fundamental, system-altering power shift away from unipolarity is occurring. “Unipolarity is ending, has ended, or will soon end,” goes the gist of much commentary, “and the system is reverting to multipolarity or bipolarity or apolarity” or whatever neologism the analyst wishes to propound.2 Stephen G. Brooks is Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth College. William C. Wohlforth is Daniel Webster Professor of Government also at Dartmouth. This article draws upon their forthcoming book America Abroad: The United States’ Global Role in the 21st Century (Oxford: Oxford University Press).

  • Should the United States Fear China's Rise?
    Joshua Shifrinson Should the United States Fear China’s Rise? Whether pundits and policymakers admit it or not, the United States is a great power in relative decline. It is not like the former Soviet Union and soon to fall into the dustbin of history; nor is it akin to ancient Rome with the Goths at the gates. Nevertheless, with policymakers and analysts alike embracing the idea that a new era of great power competition is at hand, they simultaneously acknowl- edge that the United States’“unipolar era” is over. Relative to rising great powers such as India or (more dramatically) China, the United States is declining. Shaping American grand strategy to suit this new environment will require a host of diplomatic, economic, and military adjustments that strategists are only slowly coming to recognize. Indeed, the fact that proponents of “restraint” and “offshore balancing” are pitted against advocates of “deep engagement” and “liberal hegemony” in a vibrant debate highlights that the course corrections to manage the U.S. transition away from unipolar dominance remain up in the air.1 Any number of domestic and international factors will affect the precise nature of the strategy chosen. However, because the changing distribution of power and rise of new great powers largely drive the U.S. grand strategy debate, addressing U.S. strategic needs requires anticipating the likely future behavior of other great powers and the role of U.S. policy therein. We therefore need to know: what strategies are rising states themselves likely to adopt in response to U.S. decline and, relatedly, how might the different strategic options under discus- sion for the United States reinforce or reduce problematic aspects of rising state behavior?2 Joshua Shifrinson is an Assistant Professor of International Relations with the Pardee School of Global Affairs at Boston University.

  • Don't Come Home America: the Case Against Retrenchment
    Don’t Come Home, America Don’t Come Home, Stephen G. Brooks, G. John Ikenberry, America and William C. Wohlforth The Case against Retrenchment Confronting a punish- ing budget crisis, an exhausted military, balky allies, and a public whose appe- tite for global engagement is waning, the United States faces a critical question. After sixty-ªve years of pursuing a globally engaged grand strategy—nearly a third of which transpired without a peer great power rival—has the time ªnally come for retrenchment? According to many of the most prominent se- curity studies scholars—and indeed most scholars who write on the future of U.S. grand strategy—the answer is an unambiguous yes. Even as U.S. political leaders almost uniformly assert their commitment to global leadership, over the past decade a very different opinion has swept through the academy: that the United States should scale back its global commitments and pursue retrenchment. More speciªcally, it should curtail or eliminate its overseas mili- tary presence, eliminate or dramatically reduce its global security commit- ments, and minimize or eschew its efforts to foster and lead the liberal institutional order.1 Stephen G. Brooks is Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth College. He is the author of Pro- ducing Security: Multinational Corporations, Globalization, and the Changing Calculus of Conºict (Princeton University Press, 2005) and World Out of Balance: International Relations and the Challenge of American Primacy (Princeton University Press, 2008), with William Wohlforth.
