Strategic studies is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the analysis of security, military strategy, and international relations. It examines how states and non-state actors use power to achieve their objectives, often in the context of conflict and cooperation. Key topics include military strategy, diplomacy, and national security. The field also explores the impact of technology, economics, and culture on strategic decision-making. Scholars in strategic studies analyze historical events, current conflicts, and future trends to provide insights into how nations can effectively navigate complex global challenges. Important figures in this field include Carl von Clausewitz and Sun Tzu.
