Description
This panel will present new methodological and conceptual approaches to the study of strategy and strategies. These include methods of textual analysis that capitalise on the proliferation of strategy documents in the past 20 years. The panel is concerned with practices of strategy making, including institutional and sociological process at work behind the scenes in government. The panel will also consider the appearance of new concepts and methods within strategies themselves, such as risk assessment and the expansion of ‘strategy’ to apparently non-security related areas of policy.
