Domains

My latest at the Diplomat tries to coalesce some of my thoughts with regards to how we conceive of domain-oriented strategic theory:

The ongoing debates over airpower theory, seapower theory, and strategic theory more generally have glided over three issues: the division between domains of action, the division between military and civilian contributions, and the increasingly transnational nature of the modern strategic community. Until we grapple with these three factors, we’re missing a big part of the process of how we grow and groom specialists in strategic affairs.

And with respect to LCDR Armstrong, I plead "not guilty" to displaying a photo of the Prophet without citing Twenty-First Century Mahan; the (very mild) fault lies with my editors at the Diplomat, who always choose the images associated with my columns.
