The Geopolitics Of Super Power
No full textWhat is Soviet-American competition all about? Is the Soviet Union a security problem that the United States must solve? Or is it an insecurity condition with which the U.S. must learn to live—and if so, on what terms? What kind of a player is the United States in the great game of power politics? In The Geopolitics of Super Power, one of our most respected strategic theorists answers these and other questions.
In geopolitical terms, Colin Gray sees the Soviet-American antagonism as an enduring contest between a continental empire and a maritime coalition, each with its distinctive character and purposes. Gray explores the roots of the American style in foreign policy and strategy, and how that style relates to defense options.
He identifies four broad alternatives for U.S. national security policy: passive and active means of containment, disengagement from foreign security commitments, and the rollback of the Soviet empire. Gray argues vigorously for active containment, for the systematic deemphasis of nuclear weapons, and for the intelligent use, for deterrence and defense purposes, of the West\u27s great competitive strengths in the political, economic, and technological spheres.
Colin S. Gray is founder and president of the National Institute for Public Policy and the author of Strategic Studies and Public Policy: The American Experience.
Gray—author, think-tank denizen, and Administration consultant—here employs a geopolitical theory to advance a ‘grand strategy’ of American national security. This is hard-core, hard-line, replete with chestnuts, bromides, gross caricatures, and shrewd observations. —Kirkus Reviews
Reads extremely well. A provocative and challenging study. —Journal of American Historyhttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_political_science_international_relations/1021/thumbnail.jp
The Grand Strategic Thought of Colin S. Gray
No full textColin S. Gray distinguished himself from other scholars in the field of strategic studies with his belief that grand strategy is indispensable, complex, and inherently agential. This article identifies key themes, continuities, conceptual relationships, and potential discontinuities from his decades of grand strategic thought. Gray’s statement that “all strategy is grand strategy” remains highly relevant today, emphasizing the importance of agential context in military environments—a point often neglected in strategic practice

The sheriff: America's defense of the New World order
No full textSince the end of the Cold War, and especially since September 11, 2001, few issues have been more hotly debated than the United States’ role in the world. In this hard-nosed but sophisticated examination, Colin S. Gray argues that America is the indispensable guardian of the world order. Gray’s constructive critique of recent trends in national security is comprehensive, rooting defense issues and prospective answers in both U.S. national security policy and in the emerging international security environment.
Colin S. Gray, professor of international politics and strategic studies at the University of Reading, England, and senior fellow at the National Institute for Public Policy, is the author of numerous books, including Modern Strategy and Strategy for Chaos: Revolutions in Military Affairs and the Evidence of History. He lives in Berkshire, England.
A very fine contribution in the field of national security. --Center for Research on Geopolitics
Highly recommended. This seminal work should be required reading for security policy practitioners. --Choice
For over 30 years, Colin Gray has been the most consistently brilliant strategic thinker in the English-speaking world. . . . Makes a persuasive case for America\u27s role as sheriff of the new world order. --Claremont Review of Books
A significant contribution—the metaphor of the U.S. as sheriff is just right. World order is not self-enforcing; but this proposition, which contradicts neorealism\u27s view on the balance of power and is anathema to globalism, suggests to Gray truly sound ideas to help the U.S. understand its proper role in the world to maintain international order. --Mark T. Clark, California State University
Gray makes a strong case for the U.S. role in regulating international politics. --Naval War Review
Argues that the United States is, and should continue to be, the world\u27s guardian in the post-11 September 2001 world. --Proceedings
A must for anyone who wants a serious understanding of the difficult position America is in and why the challenges if faces is wider than Iraq and al-Qaeda. . . . Challenges the reader to think beyond current events. --Survival
A stellar contribution to the continuing debate over America’s security role in the world. Will definitely make required reading in my seminars. I do not believe it will ever become out of date as it deals with core and enduring principles of U.S. strategy and foreign policy as well as matters of current interest and debate. --William R. Van Cleave, Southwest Missouri State
“Thoughtful as well as prolific. . . . The Sheriff is a rather brief but persuasive argument . . . that the U.S. ought to become . . . a selectively responding ‘sheriff’ acting in its own best interest.” --International Journal of Naval History
The Sheriff effectively demonstrates why traditional realism, geopolitics, and the cyclical view of history, after 2,500 years, retain their relevance. --Parameters
Named a 2005 Choice Outstanding Academic Title.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_political_science_international_relations/1001/thumbnail.jp
