{{Strategy}}<br />
'''Strategic studies''' is an [[interdisciplinary]] [[List of academic disciplines|academic field]] centered on the [[Peace and conflict studies|study of peace and conflict ]] strategies, often devoting special attention to the relationship between [[military history]], [[international politics]], [[geostrategy]], [[international diplomacy]], [[international economics]], and [[armed forces|military power]]. In the scope of the studies are also subjects such as the role of [[intelligence]], [[diplomacy]], and international cooperation for security and defense. The subject is normally taught at the [[post-graduate]] academic or professional, usually strategic-political and strategic-military levels.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Strategic Studies |url=https://academic.oup.com/edited-volume/34331/chapter-abstract/291361306?redirectedFrom=fulltext |access-date=2023-03-12 |website=academic.oup.com}}</ref><br />

Strategic studies is closely associated with grand strategy, which a [[State (polity)|state's]] strategy of how means (military and nonmilitary) can be used to advance and achieve national interests in the long-term.<ref name=":0">{{cite book |title=The Oxford Handbook of Grand Strategy |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2021 |isbn=978-0-19-884029-9 |editor-last1=Balzacq |editor-first1=Thierry |pages=2–4 |doi=10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198840299.001.0001 |editor-last2=Krebs |editor-first2=Ronald R.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Silove |first1=Nina |date=2018 |title=Beyond the Buzzword: The Three Meanings of 'Grand Strategy' |journal=Security Studies |volume=27 |issue=1 |pages=27–57 |doi=10.1080/09636412.2017.1360073 |s2cid=148878803 |doi-access=free |hdl-access=free |hdl=1885/251092}}</ref><ref>[[Colin S.

The academic foundations of the subject began with analysis of texts such as [[Sun Tzu]]’s ''[[Art of War]]'' and [[Carl von Clausewitz]]’s ''[[On War]]''. In recent times, the major conflicts of the nineteenth century and the two [[World Wars]] have spurred strategic thinkers such as [[Alfred Thayer Mahan|Mahan]], [[Julian Corbett|Corbett]], [[Giulio Douhet]], [[Liddell Hart]] and, later, [[Andre Beaufre|André Beaufre]]. The Cold War with its danger of degenerating into a nuclear war produced an expansion of the discipline, with authors like [[Bernard Brodie (military strategist)|Bernard Brodie]], [[Michael Howard (historian)|Michael Howard]], [[Raymond Aron]], [[Lucien Poirier]], [[Lawrence Freedman]], [[Colin S. Gray|Colin Gray]], and many others.<br />
