Analysis of strategic culture facilitates a comprehensive
understanding of a nations security identity and patterns of policy
conduct. Though strategic culture changes over time, why and how
these mutations take place has not been researched much so far.
This book sheds light on the reasons why specific features of a
countrys strategic thinking remain rigid while others transform.
The national strategic cultures of post-communist Eastern Europe
have been exposed to a panoply of shocks and shifts. Romanias
communist regime cultivated a uniquely thorny relationship with the
Soviet Union, which facilitated the development of a national
security narrative legitimizing a highly isolationist foreign
policy. These factors have heavily weighed on Romanian
post-communist strategic thinking and complicated the transition
process. At first glance, Romania went through an astonishing
adaptation to novel security challenges. Ultimately, however, its
traditional national strategic thinking remained in some ways
constant. Core features of Romanias strategic culture -- such as
the state-nation constellation -- were the most resilient to
change. In contrast, the intermediary features -- such as the
understanding of security and role conception -- as well as outer
layers -- such as the foreign policy orientation and guidelines to
using force -- of strategic culture were more prone to influence by
shocks, shifts, and norm entrepreneurs.
