What value does theory have for the practice of strategy? Independent, critical analysis based on case studies of Alexander the Great, Elizabeth I, Miyamoto Musashi and Jan III Sobieski.
Abstract
The role of sound theory in the outcome of strategic endeavour is not to be underestimated. As it has been often widely believed that that a superior theory of strategy is an important determinant of military effectiveness. The importance of good strategy suggests strategic theory to be highly relevant, but the difficulties arising whilst formulating such a universally relevant strategy also entail developing good strategic theory to be highly problematic. Despite obvious difficulties, there are some timeless, universal principles of war and warfare that regulate achieving a strategic victory. The key research question is why theory is of value for the practice of strategy. The main objective of the research question is to show why having a good theory is important, what benefits it may bring, but at the same time, to point to the limits of theory. Previous works have failed to address the research question by going to the theoretical rootsexamining classical works of strategic theory, i.e. the worldviews of Clausewitz 'On War', Sun Tzu 'The Art of War' and Jomini &#
