It is to be anticipated that this work will lead to more than a few reconsiderations of how we view strategy, whether as a universal concept, or a series of specific solutions related to societal factors, culture, time and geographical space. In short, this is a stimulating collection of contributions which comes highly recommended for both students and those researching strategy.'

With contributions from leading experts in each subject, these volumes analyse a series of notable case studies to reflect on the formulation and application of strategy rather than on theory. Transcending the traditional Western focus and modern-state-based framework of strategic studies, this Cambridge History offers the inclusion of a wider range of political actors and cases from parts of the world hitherto largely excluded from the literature. This leads to a discussion of whether central claims in the field of strategic studies that the practice of strategy exhibits universal features that apply always holds up against empirical evidence from different centuries and cases beyond the West.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eVolume 1: Introduction to Volume I: The Practice of Strategy Isabelle Duyvesteyn and Beatrice Heuser\u003cbr\u003e 1.
