Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. This major new textbook explores the traditional and contemporary uses of organized force for political purposes, bringing together leading scholars in the field to address both strategy theory and practice. It emphasizes the ongoing significance of various strategic approaches in understanding the complexities of war and peace in the early twenty-first century.

With careful editing and strong pedagogical elements, this textbook serves as a clear, accessible, and engaging introduction to strategic studies for students of politics and international relations.…

The editors' introduction emphasizes the central unifying theme of the book: the historical and continuing role of military power in support of political ends. Four broad sections cover: the evolution of strategic thought; the theory and practice of land, sea, and air power; a range of new and adapted theories about peace and security that were developed during the Cold War; and developments in strategic thinking and practice that have taken place since the end of the Cold War, including Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), Information (Cyber) Warfare, and Space Warfare.
Strategy in the Contemporary World concludes with a return to some of the themes identified in the introduction and a discussion of the future direction of strategic studies. This carefully edited textbook offers an accessible and engaging introduction to strategic studies for all students of politics and international relations.
