Reviews
This forward-thinking, comprehensive textbook is a must-have for instructors of international relations and strategic studies in the modern age. It covers a broad range of theoretical and topical issues ranging from strategic theory to nuclear weapons, from irregular warfare to great power competition. Incorporating military and scholarly views, the chapters provide students with in-depth instruction on a variety of the most critical strategic issues of our time. * Dr Molly Dunigan, Senior Political Scientist, RAND Corporation, and Senior Lecturer, Carnegie Mellon University * Strategy in the Contemporary World is the most comprehensive introduction to strategic studies. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars, this volume is an essential text to understand the broad range of debates and contemporary problems that shape the study and the practice of strategy. * Dr Damien Van Puyvelde, Director of the Scottish Centre for War Studies, University of Glasgow * Contemporary strategy involves enduring issues of force and war, but it also includes an expanding cast of characters in a rapidly changing technological environment. The relationship between traditional theory and modern dilemmas is complex, and students of strategy may struggle to make sense of it all. John Baylis, James Wirtz, and Jeannie Johnson have assembled an outstanding roster of experts to guide them. * Dr Joshua Rovner, Associate Professor, American University * More than just a fresh coat of intellectual paint, the 7th edition of Strategy in the Contemporary World is an important new instalment in an ongoing seminar about how the basic issues of international security affairs are evolving in an ever-changing world led by some of the most important contemporary thinkers on the subject. An indispensable resource for teachers and scholars. * Dr Michael C. Desch, Packey J. Dee Professor of International Affairs; Brian and Jeannelle Brady Family Director, the Notre Dame International Security Center *
