Biographical note
Janne Haaland Matlary is Professor of International Politics at the University of Oslo and the Norwegian Military Command and Staff College; she was formerly Norway's deputy minister of foreign affairs. Rob Johnson is Director of The Changing Character of War Centre at the University of Oxford.'A sobering and stimulating set of essays which remind us of the importance of military strategy and the difficulty of getting politicians to think strategically. The authors take aim at some dangerous misconceptions which, unless addressed, will continue to weaken the Western alliance.'
- Christopher Coker, Department of International Relations, London School of Economics, and author of 'The Improbable War: China, the United States and the Logic of Great Power Conflict',
'Two world-leading experts have recruited the winning team in the current Olympics of strategy-making. Exploring the complexity of strategy and its cultural variations, this book provides a valuable update on individual states' positions. This should be on every IR reading list!'
- Beatrice Heuser, Professor of International Relations, University of Glasgow,
'This excellent new book provides a much-needed, in-depth analysis of the concept of military strategy, the utility of military force and the differing approaches of NATO member-states to the wide range of challenges facing the alliance in the 21st century.'
