Welcome to the DEFAERO Andy Marshall Strategy Series, our discussion with leading thinkers on security, business and technology. Dr. Graham Allison, strategist and professor at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, discusses the nature of strategy, examples of good and bad strategies, how American can up its strategic game, lessons from recent conflicts, and the need for a more nuanced view of both deterring and engaging China with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian. This conversation is part of a series dedicated to the memory of Andy Marshall, the late former director of the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment, and sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems.
