Political Strategy and Tactics: A Practical Guide

Bìa trước
Nova Publishers, 2002 - 135 trang
This book aims to bridge a broadly applicable and validated theory and the practical challenges that face any individual acting in the face of a power imbalance. It underpins the practical advice with a detailed sociology of action of the phenomenon known as strategy. The only thing required to use this strategy is some capacity for abstract thought for planning a strategy and some self-awareness and discipline for implementing it. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the possibilities available to the strategist, and provides a simple method of developing a strategy.

With all these qualifications, it is still true to say that values held in common constitute the primary reference point for the analysis of a social system as an empirical system.'3 This general agreement on social values and behaviour patterns is perpetuated from one generation to the next...
