About this title

Synopsis

This Letort Paper explores the intersection of culture with strategy and policy. Given the recent emphasis and attention on cultural aspects of national security, this is a timely and appropriate contribution. The concepts and framework provided herein have formed the foundation for how the U.S. Army War College has incorporated culture in the study of strategy and policy, including its new approach to regional studies. This framework s not presented in a dogmatic fashion, but as one way to incorporate culture into strategic and political thinking. The Strategic Studies Institute is pleased to publish this foundational document on how we may approach the consideration of cultural factors in the formulation of strategy and policy.
