A New Grand Strategy for the United States

Abstract

It is now more than a decade and a half since the end of the Cold War -- a time when we had a clear understanding of US grand strategy; nearly seven years since the tragic events of 9/11 fundamentally altered our perception of threats posed to our nation; and more than five years since the US-led Coalition invasion of Iraq. Yet, certainly for the Middle East and indeed for engagements in other parts of the world, we have yet to decide upon an overall set of ideas and directions to guide our way forward in these extraordinarily complex and challenging times. In short, we lack a grand strategy.
