Everyone talks about strategy, but hardly anyone asks what lies behind it. This book finally provides a foundation for political strategy analysis from which it can be further developed, both practically and theoretically. With references to practical-empirical examples, the three central components of the entire strategy-making process are elaborated: strategic capability, strategy formation, and strategic steering. Numerous case studies illustrate the systematic connections and simultaneously demonstrate the far-reaching potential of strategy analyses. The content includes an introduction, fundamentals, strategy-making, and case studies on strategy-making. The target audiences are political scientists, sociologists, communication scientists, economists, and leaders in politics, business, and organizations. The authors are Prof. Dr. Joachim Raschke, who taught political science.
