Abstract for: Dynamics of National Security Strategy

The diversification and increased complexity of the Instruments of National Power, as key elements that must be orchestrated in a holistic fashion to ensure the basic functioning of all sectors of a thriving society, represent a considerable challenge. This difficulty in understanding how interactions occur with multiple elements usually leads to oversimplified explanations and solutions to complex problems. This research aims at studying National Security Strategy as a complex system by understanding how it is structured and how it behaves over time, with the objective of creating a model of National Security for Strategy formulation, simulation, and monitoring.
