Deutsche strategische Kultur in der Zeitenwende: Integrierte Sicherheit und demokratisches Narrativ - Zeitschrift für Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik

This paper elaborates on German strategic culture in the context of current security policy challenges, reflecting its potential and limitations. It argues that traditional heroic narratives or the emphasis on military rituals are insufficient to mobilize the population for a new comprehensive defense strategy. Instead, societal engagement must be based on shared values such as democracy and liberty as well as multilateral responsibility.

Prove me wrong: The #StrategicCulture of USA is now based on Trump's attitudes. US president has a lot of power.

He wants to maximize his own power.

US institutional inertia is countered with Bannonian flood of Executive Orders. Media & society awareness has capacity overflow.

Trump embodies USA. His power & ideology can override the power and interests of USA.

He frames his ideology as the benefit of the USA (USA First). His ideology manifests in the perceived reality of his followers and loyalists. Fear silences critiques.

Tunnel of perceived reality

creates the perceived & subjective realities of individuals, shaped by the media, narratives, etc.

Linguistic communication (words) by definition is always inside this tunnel.

VS

Comprehensive systemic causal model of the world and its phenomena.
