Most of the ideas that form of the foundation of American defense
policy and military strategy today were once new and untested
concepts at the far edge of strategic thought. It took thinkers of
vision and creativity to give them life and refine them to the
point they could be adopted by the defense community and used for
strategy and force development. This is a never ending process: new
strategic concepts constantly emerge, some fade away, a few pass
the tests of suitability, feasibility, and acceptability and make
it into the mainstream. To help with this process of identifying
those new and untested strategic concepts that merit further
examination, the Strategic Studies Institute is publishing a
special series called Advancing Strategic Thought. This provides a
venue--a safe haven--for creative, innovative, and experimental
thinking about national security policy and military strategy. The
study by David Lai is the inaugural publication in the Advancing
Strategic Thought Series. In it, Dr. Lai uses the ancient game of
Go as a metaphor for the Chinese approach to strategy. He shows
that this is very different than the linear method that underlies
American strategy. By better understanding Go, Lai argues, American
strategists could better understand Chinese strategy. The Strategic
Studies Institute is pleased to officer this unique and creative
analysis as part of the Advancing Strategic Thought Series.
