"This Handbook offers a collection of cutting-edge essays on all aspects of strategic culture by a mix of international scholars, consultants, military officers, and policymakers. The volume explicitly addresses the analytical conundrums faced by scholars who wish to employ or generate strategic cultural insights, with substantive commentary on defining and scoping strategic culture, analytic frameworks and approaches, levels of analysis, sources of strategic culture, and modalities of change in strategic culture. The chapters engage strategic culture at the civilizational, regional, supra-national, national, non-state actor, and organizational levels. Divided into five thematic parts, the volume will appeal both to students new to the subject and to scholars who wish to incorporate strategic culture into their toolbox of analytical techniques. Part I assesses the evolving theoretical strengths and weaknesses of the field. Part II lays out elements of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the field, including sources and components of strategic culture. Part III presents a number of national strategic cultural profiles representing the state of contemporary strategic culture scholarship. Part IV addresses the utility of strategic culture for practitioners and scholars. Part V summarizes the key theoretical and practical insights offered by the volume's contributors. This handbook will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, defense studies, security studies and International Relations in general, as well as to professional practitioners"--

"In the first decade of the 21st century, Peru reduced its official poverty rate from 50% of the population to 20%. In the "extreme poverty zones" of Lima, though, most residents still consider themselves poor. This book argues that poverty is not an objective condition, but a context-specific "assemblage" and subjective experience that is critically connected to particular life stages and family forms. Despite Peru's efforts to deploy the accepted "best practices" for fighting poverty, the formalization of things like business licenses, property deeds, and household census categories actually perpetuate urban sprawl, deepen discrimination against single mothers, and undermine Peruvians' faith in public officials as well as one another. The introduction stakes out the geographical and theoretical territory of the book. Subsequent chapters are more ethnographic, getting into why residents of the shantytown where the author's research takes place believe poverty is everywhere--but also believe looks can be deceiving. She explores questions like, Is that woman really a single mother or is she living with another man who provides, making her less-deserving of aid even as she endures the stigma of being a single mother? There's a chapter about Mother's Clubs, and how they seek official recognition as social aid groups, despite the irony that the laborious bureaucracy of official recognition takes club members away from their families. A similar bureaucracy tries to identify poor children through their parents, further marginalizing single mothers. These mothers are usually seen as the most deserving of assistance, even as they are castigated for leaving their kids at home all day in order to work. A late chapter shows how shantytowns play a role in the poverty equation. Although these communities do not necessarily have official recognition, they can still provide a kind of safety net. As the author writes, "Plans change, relationships fall apart, and shantytown homes play an important role in Peruvians' efforts to pull things back together." A conclusion reflects on the long-term possibilities raised by the book's findings, which leads to an epilogue that reports on the people and programs featured in the book since the conclusion of the author's fieldwork."
