<p>More than four years after the September 11 attacks, it is time to reexamine the state of American grand  strategy to identify possible refinements to improve synchronization, resource allocation and policy  execution at all levels. This research examines U.S. grand strategy to determine the nation's plan for  employing five instruments of national power: diplomatic, informational, military, economic, and law  enforcement. It develops seven fundamental features of a grand strategy, and compares thirteen  national strategy documents to these fundamentals to determine areas for future refinement. The study  uses a brief analysis of national responses to the IRA, Sikh militants, and Hezbollah in Lebanon to  illustrate these features in action. The study concludes by proposing a series of steps to refine  America's grand strategy as well as a framework to integrate instruments of national power in the  struggle against transnational terrorism.
