Discussion
(1) State behaviour is a function of specific institutional orientations.
(2) The foundations of strategic culture are societal.
Codes :
Answer: D
Both statements are right, so the answer is (1) and (2) are right.
Writers on strategic culture argue that a state's strategic behaviour is not simply a rational response to its situation. It reflects the particular orientations of its institutions, such as its military establishment and decision-making bodies (1).
Those orientations in turn rest on the wider society: history, geography, political traditions and shared beliefs about war and force, so the foundations of strategic culture are societal (2). Both statements describe parts of the same theory, so the options calling either one wrong are incorrect.
