Grand strategy, also called high strategy, comprises the "purposeful employment of all instruments of power available to a security community".〔Gray, Colin: ''War, Peace and International Relations: An Introduction to Strategic History'', Abingdon and New York: Routledge 2007, p. 283.〕 Military historian B. H. Liddell Hart says about grand strategy:
Grand strategy expands on the traditional idea of strategy in three ways: # expanding strategy beyond military means to include diplomatic, financial, economic, informational, etc. means # examining internal in addition to external forces – taking into account both the various instruments of power and the internal policies necessary for their implementation (conscription, for example) # including consideration of periods of peacetime in addition to wartime Issues of grand strategy typically include the choice of primary versus secondary theaters in war, distribution of resources among the various services, the general types of armaments manufacturing to favor, and which international alliances best suit national goals. Grand strategy has considerable overlap with foreign policy, but grand strategy focuses primarily on the military implications of policy. The political leadership of a country typically directs grand strategy with input from the most senior military officials. The development of a nation's grand strategy may extend across many years or even multiple generations. Some have extended the concept of grand strategy to describe multi-tiered strategies in general, including strategic thinking at the level of corporations and political parties. In business, a Grand strategy is a general term for a broad statement of strategic action. A grand strategy states the means that will be used to achieve long-term objectives. Examples of business grand strategies that can be customized for a specific firm include: concentration, market development, product development, innovation, horizontal integration, divestiture, and liquidation. ==Historical examples== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「grand strategy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
