Routledge Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America - Book

Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America provides a deep look into why state actors in the Global South maintain consistent external behaviors despite structural pressures to change. This academic work uses the concept of strategic culture to solve theoretical puzzles regarding policy continuity in the region. While strategic culture is often discussed in the context of nuclear deterrence among great powers, this book expands the scope. It applies these ideas to a wide range of strategic policy areas, including diplomacy, political economy, and regional international institutions. Readers will gain insights into how legal norms and politico-military institutions shape the actions of Latin American states. This text is an essential resource for understanding the complex relationship between cultural frameworks and international relations in the Global South.
