The theory of Strategic Culture was articulated by Jack Snyder in 1977 to interpret the Soviet nuclear strategy. It defines the shared beliefs, attitudes and modes of behaviour that shape a community’s collective identity. These social patterns are constructed through national cultural and historic experiences and enable a state to devise and subsequently achieve its foreign policy and security objectives. As these strategies are culturally determined, they assume a state of “semi-permanence”, as opposed to being merely public policy.
