| Summary/Abstract |
With the end of the Cold War, the subsequent global war on terror, the global economic recession, and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, one would think that the United States would have formulated a grand strategy for dealing with these problems. This, however, is not the case. This article advances a grand strategy of "restrainment," as a guiding concept for our approach to international politics. It builds from the principle that U.S. policy must seek to restrain-individually and collectively-those forces, ideas, and movements in international politics that create instability, crises, and war.

| Summary/Abstract |
When policy-makers use force to achieve political ends, they use the word 'victory', yet its meaning is frequently left unclear. Policy-makers are using force for new purposes (peace operations, preemption, state-building, democracy promotion, counterinsurgencies and counterterrorism), but the language and thinking on victory in these new situations has not kept pace with the times. The essential problem is that the term 'victory' is an imprecisely defined concept for guiding decisions about military intervention. Everyone, from scholars to policy-makers, should understand that the failure historically to develop a precise concept of victory weakens the ability of policy-makers to use force effectively and contributes to confusion when societies debate whether to use force. This article seeks to make three fundamental contributions towards reducing the ambiguity that surrounds the term 'victory' in the strategic studies literature. First, it establishes the renewed importance of the question: 'what is precisely the meaning of "victory?"' Second, it presents a typology for understanding the nature of victory. Third, it uses this typology to reevaluate the contributions of prominent and lesser-known thinkers in strategic studies whose ideas have contributed to the scholarship on what it means to achieve victory in war.
