Band of Brothers or Band of Others: Rhetoric, Veterans, and Civil Rights Fights in Germany and the United States
Research suggests that marginalized groups can use military service to win greater governmental and social acceptance by using civic republican rhetoric, however, conditions in which claims-making rhetoric is coercive are underspecified. Because rhetorical effectiveness requires sympathetic ears, we examine the influence of (1) expectations and political efforts of marginalized group members seeking greater acceptance, (2) whether majority group …
Institutional Arsenals for Democracy? The Postcoup Effects of Conscript Militaries
Recent years have seen increased study of military coups. While this generally emphasizes coups as a dependent variable, there is a growing debate as to how coups influence a country's long-term political trajectory. This literature includes a handful of studies that claim coups against authoritarian regimes can act for the public good and provide a boost to the state's democratization prospects. Causal mechanisms have included factors such as ai…
Patriot Games, War Games, and Political Football: A Constructivist Analysis of Militarization in an American Sport
I argue that constructivism can help us understand the political dimension of sports generally and specifically the norms, meaning, and social identity of American football. More specifically, I contend that football’s development in the United States built it into a cultural force associated with militarist and patriotic norms that politicians could leverage for political support when deep domestic divisions existed concerning national security.…
Were political elite attitudes toward immigration securitized after 11 September? Survey evidence from the European Parliament
Many immigration scholars either implicitly or explicitly agree that the post-11 September 2001 period is witness to a ‘problematization’ and ‘securitization’ of immigration that is new in its scope and scale. In this view, 11 September is perceived as a critical juncture in and a major accelerant of the process of securitizing immigration in Europe and the United States. Against this backdrop and drawing upon data gathered from our original 1993…
America and the Garrison Stadium: How the US Armed Forces Shaped College Football
American military institutions importantly shaped the popular sport of college football. From support at its two oldest service academies, interest in football spread through military units across the country with military actors involved in the formation of the country’s first collegiate athletic conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Subsequently, the US military functioned as an agent of authoritative diffusion, fostering…
More Than Meets the Eye: Domestic Politics and the End of British Conscription
At first glance, Britain's decision in 1957 to end conscription appears to be explainable solely by external factors since that change coincided with the decision of Harold Macmillan's government to bolster its nuclear capability following the embarrassing Suez Crisis. Furthermore, the decision was framed as a cost-cutting move amid budgetary challenges. However, that decision was substantially influenced by the fact that deployment of conscripts…
Shouldering the Soldiering: Democracy, Conscription, and Military Casualties
As the American death toll in Iraq surpassed 1,900, some international research scholars may have been perplexed. Only a few years ago, foreign policy makers in Western democracies, including the United States, were described as being extremely sensitive to the risk of military combat casualties. Among the factors that influence the number of casualties that a democracy will experience in conflict, one variable that should not be ignored is its m…
