diagnosis
Odysseus' fake madness is read as a stratagem designed to fail, so the Greeks can force him to Troy and spare him responsibility for choosing war over home.
model
Jiang argues that strategems travel poorly onto the international stage because they assume a shared cultural outlook; speeches matter more because they reveal and coordinate national personality.
