Grand Strategies of Weak States and Great Powers

More about the book

The book explores the concept of grand strategies as survival tactics employed by states, particularly great powers, to maintain their status against rivals. It delves into the destructive nature of prestige-seeking behavior and highlights how weak states leverage their limited political power for economic aid from stronger nations. The interactions between weak and great powers shape an international system, where the collective support of weak states enhances the strength of a dominant power, influencing global dynamics and relationships.
