The course aims to introduce the topics of strategy, defense policy and development of military power focusing in particular on the Italian case. The aim of the course is therefore to lead students to familiarize with the concept of “strategy” and with the actors and dynamics of defense policy within states, to inform them about the main issues related to the development of the Armed Forces, and to outline a theoretical framework of reference for the analysis of national defense policies.
