The article examines the shifting landscape of American leadership in global politics, questioning the roles of major powers like the U.S., Russia, and China. It emphasizes the importance of understanding grand strategy through a transdisciplinary lens, incorporating insights from neuroscience, psychology, and cultural studies. These disciplines reveal the underlying human predispositions that influence national strategic cultures and decision-making processes. The piece suggests that effective leadership may hinge on navigating these complexities to adapt to the uncertain geopolitical realities ahead.
The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.
Human predispositions profoundly shape national strategic culture and, by extension, the seemingly elusive concept of 'Grand Strategy'.
We can lean on a wealth of transdisciplinary research—from dignity neuroscience to evolutionary psychology—that reflects on global geopolitical realities.
Using a transdisciplinary lens to explore how historical, cultural, and neuro-social forces shape states' grand strategies will help us understand future geostrategic imperatives.
