Key Notes
diagnosis
Jiang argues China is culturally an historical middle-kingdom, largely non-expansionary in worldview terms, so short-run globalization is presented as an aberration rather than core norm.
diagnosis
He proposes that Iranian strategy is driven by Shia exceptionalism and a theocratic narrative that explains resilience in asymmetric conditions.
model
British grand strategy is to prevent any Eurasian heartland power from integrating the continent, because a rail-linked Eurasian bloc would make sea-lane empire bankrupt.
