Developing a theoretical framework that stresses the relationship between culture, power, security and strategy, it argues that cultural practices have been central to transformations in European and US security policy in the wake of the Cold War - including the evolution of NATO and the expansion of the EU. It argues that cultural practices continue to play powerful roles in international politics today, where they are essential to grasping the ascendance of neoconsevatism in US foreign policy. The author also investigates the rise in popularity of culture and constructivism in security studies, in relation to the structure and exercise of power in post-Cold War security relations. He argues that this poses significant challenges for considering the connection between analytic and political practices, and the relationship between scholarship and power in the construction of security relations. 4aSecurity, International - Sosial Aspect 4aNational Security - Sosial Aspect - Europe 4aNational Security - Sosial Aspect - United States  a10666/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10667/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10667/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10666/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10666/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10667/MKRI-P/XI-2008
