Spanish term or phrase: que de estos moves puede hacerse

My apologies but the client has written certain phrases in English. I can't figure how to express the end of the sentence. TIA!

En ese contexto, la distinción analítica que realiza la pragma-dialéctica entre los tres aspectos del strategic manoeuvering es clave para enriquecer el análisis que de estos moves puede hacerse.

English translation:manoeuvring OR manoeuvres (see explanation)

Explanation:
'que puede hacerse' refers to the analysis, not the 'moves' (i.e. a literal translation would be something like 'the moves of which the analysis may be made')

I would translate the sentence along the lines of:
'In this context, the analytical distinction made by pragma-dialectics between the three different aspects of strategic manoeuvring is fundamental to a deeper analysis of such manoeuvring / manoeuvres' (UK spelling)

This might be useful:

these moves may be made

Explanation:
These moves (in the original, in Spanish it'd be "movimientos") may be made or are allowed. It's a classical example of an english speaker trying to write in spanish and failing dismally.

Notes to answerer

Asker: She is a native Spanish speaker but she's on a horrible deadline so she's just writing too fast (she's already apologized). As a non-native, I have trouble knowing when there's a boo-boo or when I'm just not understanding. Thanks!
