Are we approaching a seismic revolution in American foreign policy? Lissner calls for a stronger conceptual understanding of grand strategy. As we prepare to examine strategy and national power with another generation of future leaders, this paper is an excellent resource.

Great learning experience for our @acsc_j and #DSSC students to warm up the grey matter for 2019.

To our followers, as 2018 closes, org changes will bring a revamped Defence & Strategic Studies Course (DSSC) in 2019, continuing to equip leaders with the intellectual edge for success in strategic competition & future conflict. Expect more changes to this site in the new year.

Major General Zheng Yunhau of PLA National Defense University closes the days discussion between NDU and @CDSS_ students.

[CDSS @CDSS_]

In these turbulent geopolitical times, there is always value sitting around the table with regional counterparts for discussions on the international security environment, shared challenges and potential solutions. The PLA National Defence University rekindle ties with CDSS.

Great to have a CDSS alumni in the person of VADM David Johnston @VCDF_Australia, address us on his views for what it takes to be successful as a strategic leader in Defence.
