Strategická a bezpečnostná kultúra Spojených štátov amerických
The Strategic and Security Culture of the United States of America

Summary/Abstract: The genesis of the development of the strategic culture in the United States is different than the one in European countries. The territorial threats coming from neighbours during the process of formation of the United States cannot be compared with the quest for power taking place in other continents, they were much smaller. The strategic culture developed primarily from the strategic positioning of the country; the future state bordered two oceans that did not represented a threat, on the contrary they were perceived as a tool for communication and future trade relations. The paper focuses on the analysis of the strategic culture of the United States and its formation from the late 18th century to the present. The second part of the paper is devoted to the current definition of security policy and strategic culture, as presented in the National Security Strategy of the United States. Thus, the United States also represent an example of a major shift from the strategic culture of the Cold War strategy that was built only on the military and political instruments to the strategies especially in other non-military aspects of security.
