Strategic Imagination

Essays in Honour of Brendan Sargeant

Andrew Carr,

About this book

This book examines the concept of 'strategic imagination' developed by Brendan Sargeant during his distinguished career at the Australian Department of Defence and later as a scholar at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC), The Australian National University. His tragic passing has left this powerful idea awaiting a proper examination. This volume seeks to provide that scholarly account and carry both the concept and Brendan's legacy forward.

The book is organised in three parts. First, former officials like Dennis Richardson join leading scholars, including Mark McKenna, Anthea Roberts and Ian Hall, to explore the unusual conjunction of strategy and imagination, demonstrating its crucial role in effective scholarship and policy.

Second, analysts from Australia and worldwide examine how strategic imagination improves strategic practice by revealing hidden possibilities, catalysing essential conversations and challenging core assumptions.

The final section offers personal reflections from Brendan's colleagues at the SDSC, providing a fitting tribute to his life and contribution. The volume also includes selections of Brendan's own writing on strategic imagination, ensuring his voice continues to inspire scholars and officials to explore this rich and powerful concept.
