SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This title examines the strategies, including Global Counterinsurgency (GCOIN), which have been put forward as alternatives to the Global War On Terror (GWOT), concluding that while a consensus can be found on the key elements of a grand strategy, it is far from clear if any GCOIN strategy could work.
