All the essays are shaped by the role that Professor O?Neill has played over the last 50 years in the debates in Australia, Europe and the US. This book covers not only Professor O?Neill?s impressive career, but also the evolution of strategy in practice, and of strategic studies as an internationally recognised academic discipline.
