“…In this regard Snyder (1977) used strategic culture initially to explain different approaches, attitudes and preferences by the United States (US) and the former Soviet Union for possessing and if needed, for employing nuclear weapons. The close nexus between state behaviour and strategic culture also features prominently in the earlier literature on strategic culture by Gray (1999), Johnston (1995), Howlett and Glenn (2005), and Klein (1991). Although first-wave literature strongly focused upon the state-strategic culture nexus, the saliency of regional security and regional arrangements increased as the Cold War faded.…”

Parading elements of the Southern African Development Community's (SADC) Brigade took pride of place at the opening of the 2007 SADC Summit in Lusaka, Zambia. This SADC Brigade is tied in closely to both the security architecture of the African Standby Force (ASF) of the African Union (AU) and the SADC Mutual Defence Pact. In the recent past (1998), military interventions by SADC members into Lesotho and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) caused the SADC to become known for its military (ad)ventures rather than for amicable progress towards a security community committed to development. In part, internal war in the DR Congo and other war-legacies such as those in Angola still taint the strategic landscape of the SADC. In addition, very sophisticated ships and aircraft are being delivered to South Africa while political militancy plays a prominent role in the 2008 Zimbabwean crisis. Are these events indicative of a militarised SADC strategic culture as opposed to the declared pacifist preferences to resolve conflicts?

“…Despite the tendency to emphasize the economic aspect of the Zero-Sum Effect, over the years, this concept has also found its way into other fields, such as military conflicts (Levin, 2003;Howlett & Glenn, 2005), tourism and culture (Shepherd, 2002), power and race (Macey, 2009) and even areas such as identity, belonging, nationalism (Trentmann, 2007) and time. Time has a 'zero-sum' property that allows one to identify the trade-offs in daily life (Robinson & Martin, 2009).…”

Promotion culture and on-air promotion timing

Ongoing changes in the media landscape have led to ever-increasing levels of competition for viewers' attention and awareness. The profit to be gained by capturing the viewer's attention is automatically balanced by other players' failure to do so. Thus, nowadays consumer culture is engaged in consumption of a time interval rather than in consumption of a product per se. The following article portrays three features of on-air promotion time: zerosum time, timeless time and the pro-future track. Zero-sum time refers to the sense of dichotomous time perception distinguishing 'In' (i.e., a viewer watching the program) vs. 'Out' (i.e., a viewer who prefers to watch something else); Timeless time relates to time as a flow being temporarily interrupted by on-air promos designed to generate anticipation; The profuture track is a deterministic path (even though sometimes masquerading as free choice) by which on-air promo culture tends to denote the future as the preferred time choice. These time motives symbolize the intensifying struggle for power taking place within and between "old" vs. "new" media industries especially in the current era which the "here and now" declines "the future".
