- being strategic
- the consequences of actions
- a respect for Clausewitz's theory of war
- historical dependency
- the importance of geography
- being critical of enthusiasm for technology over human factors

This important publication provides an invaluable insight into the development of strategic studies over the past 30 years from one of the world's leading theorists and practitioners of the subject. The book will be of great interest to all students and analysts of strategy and international studies.
