Middle East Strategy at Harvard

Jacqueline Newmyer is president and chief executive officer of Long Term Strategy Group, LLC, a Cambridge, MA-based defense consultancy, and a postdoctoral fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. She was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard’s Olin Institute for Strategic Studies in 2004–2005. Newmyer’s dissertation, a comparison of seminal works on strategy and statecraft from ancient China, the medieval Middle East, and early modern Europe, also analyzes the influence of domestic regimes on approaches to war in disparate language-culture areas. Newmyer did her graduate work in Politics at Oxford and her undergraduate work in History and Literature at Harvard. After leaving Oxford, she worked as a consultant to the Office of Net Assessment in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. She remains especially interested in Chinese strategy and doctrine, and she is currently researching the effects of domestic development on the People’s Republic of China’s security posture. Newmyer’s work has appeared in the journal War in History, the New York Times, Policy Review, and The Weekly Standard, among other publications.
