This master’s thesis examines grand strategy as a concept within the field of International Relations theory and provides a detailed comparative analysis of the formation, character, and effectiveness of the grand strategies of the United States of America and the Soviet Union during the Second World War.
The analysis is grounded in the core assumptions of realism, according to which the international system is characterized by anarchy, states constitute the primary actors, and their strategic behavior is guided by the pursuit of security and power. The theoretical part of the thesis develops the conceptual content of grand strategy itself, understood as the highest level of strategic planning, in which political objectives are combined with available means—military, economic, diplomatic, and ideological—with the aim of addressing threats and safeguarding national interests.
In the subsequent chapters, the strategic choices of the two great powers within the Allied camp are examined. The analysis, conducted through a comparative approach, highlights that although structural differences in political systems and institutions were significant, both the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics developed coherent and effective grand strategies. These strategies directly linked state capacity to the adaptation of available means to strategic objectives and to the changing conditions of the international system.
