| Note | "Copy of a Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies Air University Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama in June 2012" "Graduate paper from the USAF School of Advanced Air and Space Studies"--Cover. Includes bibliographical references (pages 83-92) "Space Power for Australia?s Security - Grand Strategy or Strategy of Grandeur? contends that Australia needs to incorporate space power as an element of its grand strategy. An analysis of the meaning of strategy and grand strategy in the modern context of twenty-first century power leads to a proposition that a more complex world requires a different view of strategy, one viewed through a systems lens. The effectiveness of risk analysis to strengthen national security is evaluated and shown to be deficie nt for complex systems with highly improbable but highly consequential events. An alternative view for developing strategy for complex systems is proposed that contributes the concept of system resilience. A theory of space power is developed following a comparison between the land, air, sea and cyber domains. Space power emerges as a unique element of national power, and an essential element of grand strategy for the twenty-first century. An understanding of the unique territory of space, the dimensions of strategy relevant to space power and Australian national security, and outputs from the space system supports the thesis that space systems underpin modern society to such an extent they form an important, yet presently overlooked, element of grand str ategy."--Air Power Development Centre's website. |
