The Comparative Strategic Cultures Curriculum project
is an ASCO effort that explored approaches for leveraging strategic culture analyses to understanding WMD behavior. The report includes a collection of commissioned essays and case studies that examine the field of strategic culture and assess its applicability as a methodological approach to understanding decisions to acquire, proliferate, or use WMD, or abide by or violate international norms regarding WMD. More information about this project, and the essays and case studies, can be found at http://www.dtra.mil/
