Comparative Strategy in the Emerging World Order

Event Details

In the literature on international politics, there has been a good deal written about the grand strategy of great powers. But in the interdependent world in which we now live, analysts of international politics want to learn more about the making of national strategy in certain key states that have recently emerged as central players in the contemporary world order.  Organized by the Miller Center’s WILLIAM I.
