Abstract

The chapter delves into the intricate relationship between grand strategy and drones, focusing on how tactical applications of force, such as drone strikes, influence grand strategic decisions. It examines various typologies of US grand strategy, including primacy, restraint, and selective engagement, and how drones fit into these frameworks. The author also discusses the moral and ethical dilemmas posed by drone use, the blowback effects, and the impact on civilian casualties. Additionally, the chapter explores the theoretical foundations of realism and liberalism in understanding the use of drones and their implications for US grand strategy. The analysis is particularly relevant in understanding the complexities and challenges of contemporary international relations and the role of drones in shaping US foreign policy.
