EVOLUCIJA POJMA STRATEGIJE IN NJEGOVO POVEZOVANJE S POLITIKO

V prispevku na podlagi zgodovinskega in kritičnega pristopa različnih pomembnejših teoretikov k razvoju strategije pojasnjujemo evolucijo pojma strategije, zlasti pa, zakaj in kako je njegov pomen povezan s človekovo naravo in tudi političnim vedenjem. Spoznanja raziskave kažejo dvoje, in sicer, da se je v zgodnjem zgodovinskem obdobju strategija snovala predvsem zaradi človekovih potreb po varnosti, v sodobni strateški misli, ko je ta potreba prerasla v širše politično vprašanje družbe, pa se je razumevanje strategije vse bolj povezovalo s politiko in njenim vplivom na proces oblikovanja in uresničevanja strategije.Ključne besede strategija, taktika, politika.AbstractBased on the historical and critical approaches of various important theorists to the development of strategy, this paper aims to explain the evolution of the concept of strategy, especially why and how its meaning is related to the human nature and the political behaviour. The research has shown two things. Firstly, that in the early historical period the strategy was designed mainly due to the human need for security, and, secondly, that in the modern strategic thought when these needs grew into a broader political issue of the society, the understanding of strategy was increasingly being related to the politics and its impact on the design and implementation of strategy.Key words strategy, tactics, politics.
