THE GRAND STRATEGY OF CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ
However, Clausewitz offers a notion of grand strategy not in his theory of war but in his theory of the state.
As the affairs of states continue to evolve into a complex web of interdependence, cooperation, and competition, pressure mounts on states to effectively employ the tools of statecraft to attain their political objects. The contention of this essay is that Carl von Clausewitz implicitly defined grand strategy in his magnum opus, On War, as the sum of the tools of statecraft. Consequently, states should use this definition of grand strategy accommodated to present political conditions.
