Strategic Culture Is a Useful Addition to Realist Theories for All

Strategic culture is a useful addition to realist theories for all the following reasons, *except*…

A) strategic culture can explain counterintuitive and puzzling strategic behaviour, which appears dysfunctional, ineffective, and self-defeating.
B) strategic culture can explain differences in the way state and non-state actors respond to similar threats or opportunities.
C) strategic culture demonstrates that structural and material factors are the key variables for explaining or predicting behaviour on the world stage.
D) strategic culture can explain differences that emerge in a comparative context, such as between different states.
