The purpose of this course is to consider how wargaming might be used to analyse and develop strategy. We must consider what strategy is, how it flows from one’s understanding of victory, and how it is influenced by the choices of others. In applying wargaming to strategy, we must unpack wargaming as method by understanding its history, its unique features, and how it can be best applied to questions of strategic analysis. By the module’s end students will be able to evaluate if, when, and how wargaming might address some of the challenges organisations and individuals face today.
