Abstract
Aim. Analysis of the continuity of the American strategic culture in the national security strategies of the United States.
Methodology. The specifics of the research led to the application of content and discourse analysis of this series of strategic documents.
Results. The analysis of the continuity of national security strategies has shown that the doctrinal expression of the national strategic culture is at the forefront of American foreign policy, regardless of the party affiliation of the administrations and presidents of the United States.
Research implications. Elements of the US strategic culture are systematized. The use of content and discourse analysis is proposed to identify the repeatability of the rhetoric of American strategic planning documents. The results obtained are applicable to forecasting the US foreign policy course.
