Marina Henke argues that grand strategy is more than just a list of goals—it is the art and science of allocating resources to achieve core objectives under conditions of uncertainty. We explore why so many governments struggle to prioritize, the dangers of failing to update assumptions, and the specific design flaws found in recent strategic documents from nations like Germany and the United States.

The article discussed,“Best Practices in Grand Strategy Design,” is featured in TNSR Volume 8, Issue 2.
