Strategic Culture of Multilateral Players: NATO’s Case
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
This article takes up the highly debated—yet significant for security studies— concept of strategic culture, applied to the multilateral players in international relations. It uses NATO as a case study. This attempt (based on existing research, most notably by Kerry Longhurst) starts from building the operational definition of an organisation’s strategic culture, and identifying its key structural elements (basic features, interpretative factors and regulatory practices). Based on these findings, it ponders the exemplary „strategic culture building blocks,” such as NATO bureaucracy, strategic concepts and internal debates. The purpose of this analysis is to better understand the Alliance’s strategic culture, not only for reason of theory-building, but also as an analytical and predictive tool.
