Title ProperStrategic culture in the service of strategy: The founding paradigm of Colin S. Gray
LanguageENG
AuthorJohnson, Jeannie L
Summary / Abstract (Note)The foundational work of Colin S. Gray in establishing unorthodox (for the social sciences) and eminently useful intellectual space for the concept of strategic culture is animated throughout by the very practical ambition of executing a strategic plan superior to one’s adversary. The definitions of strategic culture which Gray accepts and endorses across his decades of scholarship are instrumental in nature, aimed at improving the performance of a nation as it exercises its military instrument in the service of intended political aims. Gray himself defines strategic culture as “the socially constructed and transmitted assumptions, habits of mind, traditions, and preferred methods of operation—that is, behavior—that are more or less specific to a particular geographically based security community.”
