She calls for more investment in strategic studies & a dedicated office for long-term foresight—like the US Office of Net Assessment.
📘 Full volume 👉 www.nomos-elibrary.de/de/10.5771/9...
📖 Henke proposes a four-step framework for effective grand strategy:
1️⃣ Define goals
2️⃣ Analyse threats
3️⃣ Form a logic of action
4️⃣ Align means/resources
Henke argues that Germany's grand strategy lacks coherence, specificity, and actionable alignment between threats and responses.
