A field I hope emerges in the next 5 years: the intellectual history of military thinking and strategy. There is almost no work on this, at least in the US context, yet the military is *the* most important foreign policymaking institution in our society, and has been since WWII.

Imo the discourse on war law (IHL, “just war,” ROE, etc) would be much more meaningful if it were more nourished by more engagement with military strategy rather than taking it as a given, a black box

This is what I'm getting at. I need to think about this more thoroughly, but there is *something* unsatisfactory to me about the current literature on strategy; though I'm unable to articulate at this moment exactly what I find frustrating.

I just taught an undergrad seminar on law & war; first readings were all military history and strategy just to get their feet wet and to make them realize this discourse is fully decipherable to anyone who tries; is not inherently revanchist despite the dadbook stigma
