The Production of Strategic Knowledge and Representations

Christophe Wasinski

Culture and Conflict: Volume 54 (Summer 2004)

Abstract

What do approaches interested by representations and the creation of reality bring to the study of strategy and war? This article tries to give an account to the question, showing the interest of some contemporary studies. These studies develop two great lines of considerations related to the topic, both pertaining to the dehumanisation of the construction of the Other by strategy. The analysis also aims at criss-crossing contributions from either history, sociology or international relations studies.
