The state’s strategic culture is an integrated system of symbols reflected
in language, analogies, myths, metaphors, and daily rituals. This system creates firm strategic goals and/or preferences for the role of power (economic,
military, and political) in the interstate relations. Strategic culture relates to
shared beliefs and patterns of behaviour, which grew out of common experiences and adopted narratives (oral and written). These change collective
identity and relations with other groups, determining the accepted objectives
and methods for fulfilling tasks in the realm of security.
Contemporary political scientists and scholars of international relations
are paying more attention to the study of strategic culture since there are
more and more international problems related to the fact that the actors
“speak different languages”, meaning that the same phenomenon is interpreted differently in different cultures; one side often cannot comprehend
the viewpoint of its opponent. In order to foresee future developments and
to conduct strategic planning, the politicians and scholars, who are involved
in the decision-making process, must be able to account for sudden changes
in cultural symbols and behavioural habits, adjustments which were already
made by the political elites of various states. The question of how identity
influences the strategic choices of a state is timely for contemporary political scientists. So, the main notions that are most frequently connected to the
analysis o f strategic-cultural discourses are the following: history, national
character, national memory, culture, religion, faith, customs, ethnicity, multiculturalism, behavioural habits, socialization, political thought, values,
morals and law, ceremonies, and myths.
