This monograph addresses the theoretical meaning of strategy beyond its casual use as a general term for a plan, concept, course of action, or vision. The author argues that the latter, describing nothing more than "what we would like to do next," is inappropriate and belies the complexity of true strategy and strategic thinking. He provides a framework for considering strategy at the highest levels of the nation-state and an examination of theory, exploring those aspects of strategy that appear to have universal application. The paper's explicit purpose and perspective focus is the nation-state.
