The Field Of Grand Strategy Is Exceptionally American-Centric Theoretically Methodologically And Empirically. Indeed Many Scholars Treat The United States As A Unique Case And Thus Incomparable. This Element Addresses The Shortcomings Of This Approach By Developing A Novel Framework For The Purpose Of Systematic Comparison Both Within And Among Different Countries. Using The United States As A Benchmark Three Dimensions Are Considered In Which Grand Strategy Can Be Compared: First Attributes Of The Major Types Commonly Discussed In The Literature; Second Similarities And Differences In The Implementation Of Grand Strategies Over Time Using Us Strategic Relations With Contemporary Russia As An Example; And Finally Across Space Properties Of The Grand Strategies That Are Interactively Employed By Other Major Powers In Relation To The United States In The Indo-Pacific.
