In the globalised world of the twenty-first century, security
policy in Western societies is driven by a wish to prevent future
threats from becoming reality. Applying theories of 'risk society'
to the study of strategy, this book analyses the creation of a new
approach to strategy. The author demonstrates that this approach
creates new choices for policy-makers and challenges
well-established truths within the study of security and strategy.
He argues that since the seventeenth century the concept of
strategy has served to rationalise new technologies, doctrines and
agents. By outlining the history of the concept of strategy in
terms of rationality, Rasmussen presents a framework for studying
strategy in a time of risk and uses this framework to analyse how
new technologies of war, pre-emptive doctrines, globalisation and
the rise of the 'terrorist approach to warfare' can formulate a new
theory of strategy.
