The American strategic culture in the international relations

Résumé du document

Culture can be defined as a persistent group, through which traditions, ideas, means of thought, and attitudes are transmitted socially and more or less specifically in a community of geographically located security and historical experience which is unique. We move towards a standardization of cultural production. We also determine a complete standardization of our means of reasoning with the aid of films and media shows which come there to distort our vision of the world. International relations at present tend to be Manichean and seem to be able to copy models such as those of the films and popular television series. The question is to know when they can speak about an influence of popular culture on the international relations which govern our world. In fact, "history decays into images, not into stories" How would we define this new power of images, which seems to surface in our collective consciousness as an irrefutable proof of our knowledge of the world? Pictures consequently make our history.

[...] The legitimacy to act of any collegiate direction is hard called into question. The interplanetary Parliament represented in Star Wars Episode One and Episode two is wholly symptomatic of this tendency. This system of government is subjected in effect to the will of blockage of a dishonest minority, which manipulates institutions in his benefit and that prevents the possibility of any efficient action. Justice can be embodied only across the muscular intervention of a man or a nation representing all the positive stocks. [...]
