How is critical thinking taught? How will the next generation cope
with an ever-changing and increasingly complex world? These are
questions that the Grand Strategy program at Yale seeks to address.
The Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy seeks to revive the
study and practice of grand strategy by devising methods to teach
that subject at the graduate and undergraduate levels, by training
future leaders to think about and implement grand strategies in
imaginative and effective ways, and by organizing public events
that emphasize the importance of grand strategy. The program
defines "grand strategy" as a comprehensive plan of action, based
on the calculated relationship of means to large ends. Never an
exact science, grand strategy requires constant reassessment and
adjustment. Flexibility is key. Traditionally believed to belong to
and best-developed in the politico-military and governmental
realms, the concept of grand strategy applies--and ISS believes is
essential--to a broad spectrum of human activities, not least those
of international institutions, non-governmental organizations, and
private businesses and corporations. For fifteen years, the Grand
Strategy program has been cultivating leadership skills of
undergraduates and graduate students of Yale University. In Linda
Kulman's compelling book, we learn about this remarkable program
from the inside, sharing the stress of the "murder boards," the
revelation of applying the classics to current geopolitical
situations, and the crucial importance of fast decision-making
under duress. Teaching Common Sense weaves together on-site
reporting, archival research, and original survey data into an
intellectual history of the Grand Strategy program.
