Theory of Strategy Colin S. Gray This book provides a short and accessible introduction to the theory of strategy, examines the general theory of strategy in accordance with 23 key Principles and explains its nature, functions, and intended consequences. Theory of Strategy makes the radical argument that the familiar structure of strategy’s general theory (political ends, strategic ways, military means - and assumptions) holds as sound for security at all times and in all places, of human necessity. Strategy is ever-varying in its character, but not in its nature, which is unchanging. • The first-ever introduction to the theory of strategy • Provides a short and accessible introduction to a key component of any higher-level strategic studies course • The author is one of the world’s leading authorities on strategy and strategic thinking • Explains the subject in 23 key principles Paperback | 9780198800675 | 176 pages $35.00 $24.50 | £25.00 £17.50 Hardcover | 9780198800668 $80.00 $56.00 | £60.00 £42.00 Order online at www.oup.com/academic with promo code ASFLYQ6 to save 30%
