The New U.S. Four-dimensional Grand Strategy v3.0: Organizing the Central Area, Controlling Lock Locations, Forming Combatant States, and Destroying the P.R.C.

In the New US Four-dimensional Grand Strategy, historian and strategic analyst Ali Arslan presents a provocative interpretation of contemporary geopolitics, arguing that the United States has adopted a previously unrecognized “four-dimensional strategy” to preserve its global dominance. According to Arslan, this framework rests on four interconnected pillars: organizing a new central defence area, controlling critical global chokepoints, shaping combatant partner states, and ultimately confronting the rise of the People’s Republic of China.

Drawing on history, international relations, and strategic theory, the book introduces a distinctive vocabulary for understanding global competition, including concepts such as “Lock Locations,” “Combatant States,” the “Human Fortress,” and the “Sea Wall.”

Combining analytical argument with contemporary case studies, this work challenges conventional interpretations of U.S.-China rivalry and offers readers a bold framework for understanding the evolving international order. Essential reading for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone seeking fresh perspectives on the strategic forces shaping the twenty-first century.
