In this new account, Jeremy Black explores the ever-changing relationship between purpose, force, implementation and effectiveness in military strategy and its dramatic impact on the development of the global power system.    Taking a 'total' view of strategy, Black looks at leading powers - notably the United States, China, Britain and Russia - in the wider context of their competition and their domestic and international strengths. Ranging from France's Ancien Regime and Britain's empire building to present day conflicts in the Middle East, Black devotes particular attention to the strategic practice and decisions of the Kangxi Emperor, Clausewitz, Napoleon and Hitler.StrategyHistoryWorld politicsHistory.fastStrategyHistory.World politics.355.02NK 7010SEPArvkBlack Jeremyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut144601DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910793936203321Military Strategy3677266UNINA02772nam 2200709 a 450 991095775580332120240516170700.097866136620029781118484838111848483597811183433571118343352978128068506412806850699781118343456111834345X(CKB)2670000000206189(EBL)931630(OCoLC)794664706(SSID)ssj0000662621(PQKBManifestationID)12264956(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000662621(PQKBWorkID)10723060(PQKB)11020606(MiAaPQ)EBC931630(Au-PeEL)EBL931630(CaPaEBR)ebr10580280(CaONFJC)MIL366200(Perlego)1011010(EXLCZ)99267000000020618920120222d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHarm reduction in substance use and high-risk behaviour international policy and practice /edited by Richard Pates, Diane Riley1st ed.Chichester [England] Wiley-Blackwell20121 online resource (490 p.)Addiction PressDescription based upon print version of record.9781405182973 1405182970 Includes bibliographical references and index.section 1.

Conclusions.Harm Reduction is a philosophy of public health intended as a progressive alternative to the prohibition of certain potentially dangerous lifestyle choices. Recognising that certain people always have and always will engage in behaviours which carry risks, the aim of harm reduction is to mitigate the potential dangers and health risks associated with those behaviours. Harm Reduction in Substance Use and High-Risk Behaviour offers a comprehensive exploration of the policy, practice and evidence base of harm reduction.
