Grand strategy is military Strategy at the level of movement and use of an entire Nation State or Empire 's resources. Issues of grand strategy typically include the choice of primary versus secondary Theater s in war, the general types of armaments to favor manufacturing, and which international alliances best suit national goals. It has considerable overlap with Foreign Policy , but grand strategy focuses primarily on the military implications of policy. Some have extended the concept of grand strategy to describe multi-tiered strategies in general, including strategic thinking at the level of corporations and political parties. Grand strategy is typically directed by the political leadership of a country, with input from the most senior military officials. Because of its scope and the number of different people and groups involved, grand strategy is usually a matter of public record, although the details of implementation (such as the immediate purposes of a specific alliance) are often concealed. The development of a nation's grand strategy may extend across many years or even multiple generations. HISTORICAL EXAMPLES
