Assignment:
As we learned from our lesson notes, one way to maintain a Balance of Power is through balance, outsourcing, and domestic demands. As we learned from the Orchestrating the Instruments of Power assigned reading, these can also be elements of good grand strategies.
Discussion Prompt: Provide two examples of various states' national security strategies since 1930, and apply the aspects of balance, outsourcing, and domestic demands to each to explain what shaped them and why each example failed or succeeded (ideal if you can provide an example of a succes and an example of a failure, but if both examples are either successes or failures, highlight the important differences between them as part of your post).
