Grand Strategy
The grand strategy of a state prescribes how a nation should wield its military instrument to realize its foreign policy goals. As a result, it is a primary component of a state's foreign policy and particularly, its ability to reach the goals of that policy. For example, President Clinton's grand strategy of 'Engagement and Enlargement' had the United States pursue national security by engaging other states by enlarging its alliances and international organizations like NATO.
