Are we all torturers now? A reconsideration of women's violence at Abu Ghraib
In April 2004 photographs were publicized showing American servicewomen conspicuous among the tormentors of inmates at Abu Ghraib prison. These sadistic images defied gendered expectations about the proper behaviour of women and prompted a flurry of articles on women's involvement. Many responses to the Abu Ghraib disclosures implicitly accepted that such brutality is typical of military men but when enacted by women is aberrant in ways that meri…
The Myth of the Macho Military
The public debate about the incorporation of women in the U.S. Armed Forces has primarily included feminist-inspired critics, who denounce the hostility toward women they perceive is promoted in the military's masculinist culture, and, alternatively, opponents of the greater inclusion of women in the military, who valorize the exclusivist masculine qualities that many feminists criticize. Although these ideological adversaries differ in their est…

Democracy, Domination, and Legitimacy in Max Weber’s Political Thought
Stronger than Custom: West Point and the Admission of Women
When the first women cadets entered the United States Military Academy in 1976, they were harbingers of massive changes at West Point and within the American Army. They arrived on the heels of the anti-militarism of the 1960s and 70s, defeat in Vietnam, the end of the draft, and a decay of the armed forces in general. They were despised by many cadets and members of the Academy staff and faculty who feared the end of male dominance at West Point.…
Forms of Power By Gianfranco Poggi. Cambridge: Blackwell, 2001. 256p. $66.95 cloth, $28.95 paper
The main themes of this book are prefigured in Gianfranco Poggi's two significant earlier works on the rise and character of the modern state: The Development of the Modern State: A Sociological Introduction , 1978, and The State: Its Nature, Development, and Prospects , 1990, (especially in the first chapter of the latter). In connection with his discussion of state formation, Poggi put forward the view that political power is one particular for…

The First Wave: Gender Integration and Military Culture
A number of sexual harassment scandals in the United States armed forces have come to public attention in recent years. Commentators on these scandals have suggested that the incidents are not anomalous, but reflect an institutional culture that generates hostility toward women. The military culture, it is supposed, fosters aggression that is turned against female service members. This article questions such views of the military. It examines the…

The Continuation of History: Max Weber on the Advent of a New Aristocracy
In the view of many commentators, Max Weber's account of rationalization and its consequences expresses the idea that modernity is a final and dismal stage of humanity's historical development An equalized, stultified, and bureaucratically managed humanity is generally thought to be Max Weber's view of the outcome of rationalization and the condition from which he aimed to deliver a few exceptional individuals I challenge this familiar depiction …
Status,vanity and equal dignity in Max Weber's political thought
The preoccupation of commentors with exposing the nationalist,Nietzschean and nihilistic aspects of Max Weber's thought has obsured the genuinely libera; character of his outlook.The overshadowing of Weber's liberal ideals is indicated by the pervasiveness of the assumption that he was an ‘etilist’ whose ethic was aristocratic in spirit. I challenge this assumption by focussing attention on two interrelated themes of Weber's thought that are ofte…
