Description

This course provides a grounding in the fundamentals of strategy, the development of modern strategic thought from Machiavelli to the present, including thinking about airpower and seapower, and developments in conventional warfare and military activity since 1945, with an emphasis on the period since 1975. It will provide students with an enhanced understanding of the context in which military activity occurs, and provides the link between understanding policy and decision-making at whole of government level, and the outcomes on the ground, at sea and in the air.
