Questioning Globalized Militarism
Author: Peter Custers
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
In this wide-ranging study Peter Custers seeks to highlight the importance of the production and consumption of arms as a form of social waste within the capitalist world order. The study encompasses critical economic theory, historical studies of the rise of capitalism, conceptualizations of international trade, and analyses of the inequities spawned by globalized militarism. Drawing especially on Volume 2 of Marx's "Capital," Custers creatively develops some of Marx's classical themes. The individual circuit of capital outlined in that work is utilized by Custers to demonstrate the generation of various types of waste at each step in the military-nuclear and civilian-nuclear production chains. He also proposes the new concept of negative use-value to highlight the adverse consequences, for human beings and the environment, of products that are churned out by the military-nuclear complex. In opposition to the view that the capitalist system in its earlier phases operated as a market system governed by 'internal' exchanges, Custers produces historical evidence to demonstrate that this system always incorporated a vital 'external' agent, namely, the capitalist state, which has played a significant role in capitalism's evolution at crucial junctures.

The Marketing of War in the Age of Neo-Militarism
Author: Kostas Gouliamos
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113647515X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The post-9/11 era and the overall impact of international terrorism have generated much debate regarding the role of military apparatus in modern society. This book assesses the inherent meaning of the militarization from a critical, interdisciplinary perspective. Against the background of democracy and capitalism, The Marketing of War in the Age of Neo-Militarism challenges prevailing accounts of the "military-industrial complex" as it explores significant interrelated themes denoting the accelerating process of militarization of society. Designed to address pressing socio-political phenomena, this book is the first of its genre contesting conventional wisdom about the perceived link between war and the "military-industrial complex." It is unique not merely because of its approach, but also for its thorough analysis of deeply affected social institutions and processes such as education, popular culture, geopolitics, military expenditure, space and the environment. Contributing authors advance the discussion by exposing factual information demonstrating the nature and scope of society’s militarization. Their analysis is also broadened to encompass key concepts and diverse aspects of the subject matter that provoke a lively debate. The book offers compelling arguments that will be indispensable to scholars, students, professionals, and policy and decision makers with an interest in social and political sciences as well as in other related fields.

Author: Ismet Akça
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783659541353
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
This book analyses the complex forms of articulation between militarism and capitalism in Turkey. It firstly develops a critical evaluation of the existing literature on the relationship among militarism, capitalism and the state. Secondly, it critical evaluates the prevailing state-centric modes of analysis of the state and the military in Turkey. Finally, using strategic-relational Marxist theoretical framework, it analyzes two phenomenal forms of the articulation between militarism and capitalism in Turkey, namely the military intervention in 1960 and the subsequent rise of the military-economic structure. This book is a cutting-edge guide for students, scholars and others seeking to understand Turkish politics, military, and capitalism.
