This book studies the role of strategy within warfare. Current trends suggest that the fog of war continues to make strategy an opaque enterprise notwithstanding enormous U.S. investments in high-tech weapons, intelligence capabilities, and homeland defence. This edited volume includes essays originally presented at the International Institute for Strategic Studies Global Strategic Review, which was held in Geneva in September, 2007.The wide array of contributors discuss many fascinating and thought-provoking issues such as: The Fog of War; Modern War; Managing Global Security and Risk; New Forms of Violence; Civil Resistance in Strategic Perspective; Strategy and the Limitation of War; On Counterinsurgency; Thoughts on the Character of Future Conflict; Enduring Elements of Military Strategy; The Need for Neo-Classical Counterinsurgency Theory; Post-Modern Challenges for Modern Warriors; Intelligence, Policy and the Failure to Forecast Risk; Tracking Asia's Black Swans; Reflections on Strategic Surprise; and War and Intelligence in the 21st Century.
