The Summer Workshop on Strategic Studies aims to bring together a group of twenty students and analysts from the fields of international relations, military studies, political science and public policy. The Workshop will look closely at issues rooted in strategic and military policy, whilst equipping students with the necessary conceptual frameworks and methods of analysis to conduct advanced historical and theoretical research. The workshop also considers contemporary cases for investigation, and will allow students to interact with key policy makers and commentators. In the end, it hopes to create a network of individuals capable of analyzing strategic and military choices and to foster policy-relevant research and teaching on strategic issues.

Program
Each day of the workshop will be divided into three sessions. The first will aim to engage in discussion drawing on given texts. These sessions will be conducted in a more informal seminar format, pushing students to reflect on the readings, but equally, challenge and question assumed and underlying principles in the broad area of strategic studies. In the second session, students will be lectured by established scholars in the field or practitioners. The last session might be considered a tutorial looking closely at methodological tools in strategic studies, including historical and qualitative methods, case studies and net assessment. In the second week, students will be expected to make a short presentation on a case study.
