Abstract
Com o presente artigo pretende-se fazer uma sintética actualização do “ser” da estratégia, evocando os estudos estratégicos, nomeadamente nos aspectos concernentes ao objecto da estratégia e à relação da estratégia com a política. Esta actualização é realizada confrontandoa com um recente manifesto, da autoria de Isabelle Duyvestein e James Worral, importante pelas repercussões que tem na ciência das relações internacionais, o qual padece de muitas debilidades e não menos aporias. Importa, pois, desconstruir alguns dos seus pressupostos, que têm sido também aqueles acriticamente aceites quando as Relações Internacionais afloram a problemática inerente aos estudos estratégicos ou se debruça sobre a guerra.
The present paper intends to make a synthetic update of the "being" of strategy, evoking strategic studies, namely in the aspects concerning the object of strategy and the relationship between strategy and politics. This update is done by confronting it with a recent manifesto, by Isabelle Duyvestein and James Worral, important for its repercussions on the science of international relations, which suffers from many weaknesses and no less aporias. It is important, therefore, to deconstruct some of its assumptions, which have also been those uncritically accepted when International Relations touches on the problematic inherent to strategic studies or focuses on war.
