Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of the Art of War: Prepared for the Use of the Cadets of the United States Military Academy In preparing this work for the use of the Cadets, ft was not intended to write an exhaustive treatise upon the Art of War or any of its branches. The design was only to state concisely the first elements of the Art of War and show their relations to each other. An attempt has been made to arrange the matter in such order as to lead one first approaching the subject to so study campaigns and battles as to try to discover the causes which have secured victory to one and entailed defeat upon another; and to determine whether they arise from tactics logistics or strategy. If it accomplishes this object it will have completely fulfilled its mission. In the body of the work credit has been given to authors whose works have been somewhat closely followed in the particular subject under discussion. In addition to those so mentioned, most of the works whose names are given on the adjoining page have been freely consulted, and the ideas contained in them have been adopted, modified, combined with others, or rejected as seemed best. My thanks are due to Lieutenants Goethals, Hodges, and Hale, of the Corps of Engineers, by whom I have been ably assisted in the revision of this work. While using it as a text-book in the instruction of Cadets they have critically examined it, and in accordance with their suggestions I have corrected the typographical and other errors discovered, and have changed the wording of a number of sentences whose meaning seemed obscure.

Book excerpt: ‘Destined Statecraft enriches our understanding of global affairs by presenting a perspective where small powers are no longer in the periphery, but take up the main narrative. This standpoint is all the more valuable in an age where the proactive decision-making of small powers often goes unobser ved. Professor Wong’s Destined Statecraft offers a fresh lens for discerning world issues, helping to extend the reader’s vision beyond the exterior towards a greater perception of the world we live in.’ —Mr Sungnam Lim, Vice-Minister of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea This book considers the post-2010 strategic shifts in the Anglo-American geopolitical approach to Asia as a pivotal new strategy in the U.S. geo- strategic containment plan, which has been reformed to rebalance the rise of China and the Eurasian heartland in the course of the two decades since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. At this critical global-historical juncture, the People’s Republic of China has also devised a new counter-containment endeavor – the ‘One Belt One Road’ initiative, which aims to re-connect it with all the countries on the Eurasian landmass, forming a single community. Against this backdrop of the intensifying geopolitical and geo-economic competition between the U.S. and China, this book calls for the revival and reinvigoration of selected Eurasian small powers’ embedded geopolitical, political-economic and strategic-cultural structures. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of habitus, the book argues that these self- changing and unceasingly structuring structures do not only constrain and limit, but also enable and galvanize small powers’ strategists and policy- makers to proactively generate creative means-and-ends calculations, conduct prudent security assessments, and devise measured and responsive strategic deployments. In this context, the book proposes that the small powers return to their own religious, cultural and intellectual roots. It also argues for the need to rediscover their own strategic cultures as an essential means of re-inventing and implementing their own unique models of national development. As a substantial contribution to the subfields of small power politics and strategic cultures in international relations, the book marks a paradigm shift in both theory and practice. Exploring historical case studies from such diverse African, Asian and European powers as the Philippines, Liberia, Myanmar, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, Germany, Japan, Indonesia, Russia, the European Union, Ukraine, Poland and the United Kingdom as well as China, the book presents engaging dialogues with a wealth of classical and contemporary Western and non-Western strategic thinkers, including: Thucydides, Sun Tzu, Halford Mackinder, Kautilya, King Solomon, Li Zongwu, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Karl Haushofer, Carl Schmitt and the Malayo-Polynesian datu, as well as John Mearsheimer. In light of the post- 2017 U.S. ‘America First’ foreign policy agenda, this book represents an essential guide for small powers’ strategists, foreign policy-makers, security practitioners and national development planners – introducing them to a broader spectrum of strategic options that will help them not just survive, but thrive in the constantly shifting geopolitical currents of our time.
