Social Sciences - Government / Politics
English term or phrase: to play the outside/inside game
Sentence :
"None of these efforts could have happened had they depended on a vote by the "joint team". In other words, airpower has enjoyed success when it played what we might call the outside game and far less sucess when it tried to play the inside game".


je sèche sur cette expression....
"Joint team" fait référence à l' "équipe" constituée des trois puissances : terrestre, navale et aérienne.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

jouer en solo plutôt qu'en équipe.


Explanation:
Je pense que le sens est que les forces aériennes ont eu plus de succès en prenant des décisions en solo plutôt qu'en attendant des décisions conjointes avec les autres forces...problèmes d'organisation et de volonté de se mettre en avant de chaque force..
