Item The Meaning of Strategy: Part I: The Origin Story (November 2017)(Texas National Security Review, 2017-11) Freedman, LawrenceItem The Role of Emotions in Military Strategy (Spring 2022)(Texas National Security Review, 2022) Zilincik, SamuelEmotions are ubiquitous in the conduct of military strategy. Although strategic studies scholarship has increasingly emphasized the importance of emotions, their treatment in the field lacks a clear research focus. This paper offers a basis for thinking about the role of emotions in military strategy. More specifically, there are three main areas that lie at the intersection of emotions and military strategy that deserve our attention. These areas include the character of war and emotional stimuli, emotional influence on strategic choices, and the relationship between emotional manipulation and the pursuit of victory. By directing the attention of scholars to the salient role of emotions in strategic practice, this paper provides a stepping stone for systematic research in this area that will contribute to improvements in the conduct of strategy.Item Until Hell Freezes Over: A Critical Analysis of Grand Strategy in the American Civil War(2020-05) Hammer, WillThe concept of "grand strategy" is both an overall plan that encompasses the military, diplomatic, economic, and social aspects of waging war, and an analytical lens through which we can examine the progression of historical conflicts and obtain a more comprehensive understanding of why they were fated the way they were. The American Civil War is a truly massive specimen that is frequently analyzed in smaller proportions that do not do the complex and fluid nature of the conflict justice. Too often are inflated importances given to individual battles and people. Examining the grand strategies of the Union and Confederacy - whether intentional or not - yields a clearer picture of how the war reached its outcome, and assigns the proper levels of importance to the various aspects of the conflict.Item Vol. 5, Iss. 2: Force & Feeling (Spring 2022)(Texas National Security Review, 2022) Texas National Security Review
