Summary/Abstract: This chapter seeks to capture the different perspectives on strategic communications (StratCom) that have appeared in the first ten volumes of the Defence Strategic Communications academic journal. This emergent field will always be a work in progress and opinions will remain contested as befits any academic and praxis-oriented area of study. From seventy-eight articles the following discussion draws on twenty-five, in addition to the editor’s forewords in several volumes.
