Prof Paul Dixon, Professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Leicester and Queen Mary College, University of London, discusses his new book, “The Militarisation of British Democracy: The Iraq and Afghan Wars and the Rise of Authoritarianism.” We explore the military's influence on UK politics and society, the idea of a "militarist coalition," debates over defence spending, media coverage of military issues, and recent and historical conflicts including Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Northern Ireland."I had the luxury as an academic to go back and look at key instances where there were moral panics generated about Selly Oak hospital or the parades at Abingdon or alleged abuses of soldiers in Leatherhead Leisure Centre, and show that there was a lack of substance to a lot of those stories that were used to promote the militarisation of the UK. And what I found in looking back was that there wasn't very much analysis of those moral panics to get to the bottom of actually what was going on and whether there was real substance to these panics.” Buy the book: https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-the-militarisation-of-british-democracy.htmlListen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatchTo support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership @beebwatch.bsky.social@BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Hosted on Acast.

C dans l'air du 3 octobre 2025 - Poutine contre la « militarisation de l'Europe »« J'observe la militarisation de l'Europe et promets une réponse aux menaces ». Cette déclaration hier de Vladimir Poutine intervient au moment où les pays européens multiplient les investissements militaires. Les Vingt-Sept cherchent à se protéger après les intrusions de drones attribuées à la Russie. Hier encore, un survol de drones dans le ciel allemand a conduit à la suspension de l'aéroport de Munich durant la nuit.Le ton pris hier par Poutine se voulait belliqueux. Le président russe accuse l'Europe de mener « une escalade permanente » du conflit russo-ukrainien. Il s'en est notamment pris à la France après l'interception d'un pétrolier russe au large de Saint-Nazaire, « c'est de la piraterie », a-t-il déclaré. Le ton était plus clément à l'égard des États-Unis, même s'il a estimé que l'envoi de missiles longue portée américains Tomahawk à Kiev serait une « nouvelle escalade » entre Moscou et Washington.Pendant ce temps, côté américain, Donald Trump continue de se rêver en faiseur de paix, et d'obtenir le Prix Nobel. C dans l'air a rencontré John Bolton, son ancien conseiller, à présent son son opposant. Il critique la politique étrangère de Trump, et estime que celui-ci se fait mener en bateau par Poutine. Il pointe aussi la dérive dictotariale du milliardaire. Trump, lui, a fait comprendre jeudi dernier qu'il fallait embrasser son idéologie ou prendre la porte. Lors d'un rassemblement réunissant les haut gradés de l'armée américaine, le locataire de la Maison balnche a souligné que les Etats-Unis sont sujets à « une invasion de l'intérieur » qu'il s'agit de stopper. Dans son viseur : les immigrés sans papiers, la presse ou encore ses opposants. De son côté, Pete Hegseth, le chef du Pentagone, a assuré que le choix des militaires déployés pour combattre répondrait désormais "au plus haut standard masculin".Alors, faut-il prendre au sérieux les menaces de Poutine ? Quelle est l'analyse de John Bolton sur la politique de Trump ? Qui sont ces « ennemis de l'intérieur » pointés du doigt par le président américain ?LES EXPERTS :- Anthony Bellanger - Éditorialiste à Franceinfo TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- Marie Jégo - Journaliste au Monde, ancienne correspondante en Russie- Nicole Bacharan - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des Etats-Unis, éditorialiste à Ouest-France- Michel Goya - Colonel, expert en stratégie militaire

Le 13 juin 2025, à Montreuil, se tenait le sixième vendredi marxiste de l’année 2025, organisé par la section française de la IVᵉ Internationale, la Tendance communiste internationaliste (composante organisée du Parti des travailleurs). L'article La IVᵉ Internationale face à la militarisation capitaliste est apparu en premier sur LA TRIBUNE DES TRAVAILLEURS.

Global military expenditure reached a record high of two point seven trillion dollars in 2024, according to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. This is the tenth consecutive year that military spending has increased across the world. Last week's Budget announcement, as with declarations of investments earlier this year, in which $12 billion was committed to defence over the next four years, with an aim to reach 2% of GDP, demonstrate the New Zealand government's interest in keeping up with global standards.  Peace Movement Aotearoa have called this central government decision “deplorable”, as the same budget made cuts to crucial social services, and has underinvested in urgent issues within sectors like health, climate action, and infrastructure. Producer Sara spoke with Massey University's Associate Professor in the Centre for Defence and Security Studies, Anna Powles, about why both global and national military spending is increasing despite other crucial areas needing investment. Sara also spoke with Peace Movement Aotearoa co-ordinator Edwina Hughes about the effects of this increased militarisation taking priority over efforts to address humanitarian issues.  She began her interview with Associate Professor Anna Powles, by asking what some of the key drivers of this increased global military spending are. 

L'émission 28 minutes du 22/05/2025 "Dôme d'or": Trump va-t-il précipiter le monde dans la militarisation de l'espace ?Mardi 20 mai, Donald Trump a esquissé les contours du projet "Dôme d'or". Calqué sur le "Dôme de fer" israélien, la version américaine ambitionne de protéger les États-Unis grâce à un maillage de satellites capables de détecter et de neutraliser tous types de missiles. Un système qui rappelle l'Initiative de défense stratégique de Ronald Reagan, un projet avorté qui avait participé à l'assèchement économique du rival soviétique dans les années 1980. La Maison Blanche a alloué la modique somme de 175 milliards de dollars au "Dôme d'or",pour une inauguration dès la fin de l'année 2026. L'annonce a fait bondir la Chine, qui dénonce un projet qui "porte atteinte à l'équilibre stratégique et à la stabilité mondiale", et a exhorté les États-Unis à "abandonner au plus vite" leur projet. S'il venait à entrer en service, quel serait l'impact stratégique du "Dôme d'or" ? Assiste-t-on au début de la militarisation de l'espace ? On en débat avec le Général Dominique Trinquand, ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU ; Léo Péria-Peigné, chercheur au Centre des études de sécurité de l'Ifri, et Marie-Cécile Naves, directrice de recherche à l'IRIS.28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

A la une ce jeudi 8 mai : une presse va-t-en-guerre, une réunion de bons voisins et une ville aux anges.

Militarisation, isolationism, extractivism.It looks like we learned nothing from the 21st century, as the powers that be are approaching looming civilisational collapse by cranking up the gears on the very machine which caused it. We're re-entering a period of dog-eat-dog in a resource scarce world, which could result in the return of serfdom.That's the warning from Antonio Turiel,  physicist and a mathematician who works as an environmental scientist at the Institute of Marine Sciences at the CSIC in Spain. On this big picture episode, we cover everything from fossil fuel production to re-armament to male supremacy, with Antonio cutting through noisy data to reveal exactly how resource scarcity is driving the violent shift in global politics, and what we can expect to happen in the coming years including military colonisation, food shortages, oil crashes, and rampant inequality.Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis.

Ils sont de plus en plus nombreux à être candidats au départ vers le Royaume-Uni. D'après les autorités britanniques, plus de 18 000 migrants ont atteint les côtes anglaises depuis le début de l'année 2024, soit une augmentation de 13% par rapport à 2023. « Ce chiffre reste très faible par rapport à la capacité d'accueil du Royaume-Uni », précise Juliette Delaplace. La chargée de mission « Personnes exilées sur le littoral de la Manche » pour l'association Caritas estime que « pour éviter le bataillon sécuritaire » avant la traversée de la Manche, « les personnes adaptent leur stratégie ». Elles partent de plus loin, notamment du fleuve de l'Aa, qui se jette dans la mer du Nord. Entretien.

With presidential, referendum, and European and parliamentary elections, 2024 is a busy political year for Lithuanians. Yet, the debate mainly focuses on Russia rather than domestic issues.

Food Journeys: Stories from the Heart (Zubaan Books, 2023) is a powerful collection that draws on personal experiences, and the meaning of grief, rage, solidarity, and life. Feminist anthropologist Dolly Kikon and peace researcher Joel Rodrigues present a wide-ranging set of stories and essays accompanied by recipes. They bring together poets, activists, artists, writers, and researchers who explore how food and eating allow us to find joy and strength while navigating a violent history of militarization in Northeast India.  Food Journeys takes us to the tea plantations of Assam, the lofty mountains of Sikkim, the homes of a brewer and a baker in Nagaland, a chef's journey from Meghalaya, a trip to the paddy fields in Bangladesh, and many more sites, to reveal why people from Northeast India intimately care about what they eat and consider food an integral part of their history, politics, and community. Deliciously feminist and bold, Food Journeys  is both an invitation and a challenge to recognize gender and lived experiences as critical aspects of political life. Dolly Kikon is an anthropologist whose work focuses on the political economy of extractive resources, militarisation, migration, indigeneity, food cultures and human rights in India. She is the author of Life and Dignity: Women's Testimonies of Sexual Violence in Dimapur (Nagaland) (2015); Living with Oil and Coal: Resource Politics and Militarisation in Northeast India (2019); Leaving the Land: Indigenous Migration and Affective Labour in India (2019); Ceasefire City: Militarism, Capitalism, and Urbanism in Dimapur (2021); and Seeds and Food Sovereignty: Eastern Himalayan Experiences (2023).

His writings have been featured in Gastronomica, Morung Express, and ‘Raiot.in'. He has a bachelor's degree in mass media, and a master's in peace and conflict studies. His peace research work engages with law, violence, memory, food, and media. Born in Mumbai, Joel has lived in Northeast India for a decade now Rituparna Patgiri has a PhD in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has met with his Fijian counterpart, Sitiveni Rabuka, and announced more than $11.1 million in climate change support for the country. Climate change, Mr Hipkins says, is the greatest threat to the region at present. But potential US and China militarisation of Pacific countries is also a hot topic as the world powers compete for influence in the region. Mr Rabuka says Fiji only thinks of military when we cannot achieve stability and unity through diplomacy and good governance. Professor Steven Ratuva is an expert in Pacific politics at the University of Canterbury. He spoke to Corin Dann.

This episode continues our mini-series looking at how children are socialised into recurring habits of visualising war and peace. Alice interviews Prof. J. Marshall Beier, who is Undergraduate Chair in the Department of Political Science at McMaster University. In the course of a distinguished career, Marshall's research has focused particularly on how children and childhood get conceived in political contexts, and what impact that can have on their political involvement as well as on their lives more broadly. In the course of this research, Marshall has published extensively on the militarisation of childhood and well as child and youth rights and youth political participation. Notable publications include edited volumes such as The Militarisation of Childhood: Thinking beyond the Global South (2011), Discovering Childhood in International Relations (2020), and – with Jana Tabak – Childhoods in Peace and Conflict (2021). We begin the podcast by looking at how children are militarised in many different ways - from their recruitment as child soldiers, to more 'benign' forms of cadet training, to messaging in society about the pervasiveness of threats (leading to an understanding that citizens need protection via the military), to the ways in which leisure spaces such as museums, airshows and online gaming can promote the 'cult of the hero' and inculcate wider military values, such as resilience, courage, or the idea that certain wars are 'good' while others are 'bad'. Marshall draws attention to 'militarism's ambient cacophony' - by which he means that the promotion of different kinds of military activity is all around us - and to the fact that as children grow up, they are exposed to many different kinds of pedagogies (formal and informal) which both normalise and naturalise war. This indirect 'enlistment' is vital to governments who, in time, may ask the adults that children become to sanction military spending and military deployments. Marshall also discusses the concept of 'childhood' itself, and differences between 'the imagined child' and children as political agents, subjects, knowledge-bearers and knowledge-producers.  We examine typical representations of children affected by conflict, and the ways in which images of their victimhood and vulnerability are often leveraged as 'a technology of governance' - in other words, used by politicians and others to shape wider attitudes and policy. Marshall underlines how flexible a category 'child' can be, however, and how governments and militaries can 'evacuate' certain age groups from this category when they see them as a threat, deeming them e.g. 'military-age males'.  He notes that states and militaries sometimes also ask children to 'do the work of adults': for instance by conducting surveillance, or being resilient when they lose a parent to conflict. And he draws on his work with the McMaster Youth and Children University to discuss how we might take a more rights-based approach to engaging with children around war and peace, empowering them to contribute to debate and discussion, rather than side-lining or even exploiting them.We hope you enjoy the episode.
