Militarization describes the historical social process by which investments in military institutions and particular and positive kinds of thinking about military personnel and activities have shaped global human life. Research using the concept of militarization has examined the intensification of the land, labor, and material resources allocated to military purposes as well as the shaping of other institutions and cultural ideas and values in line with military goals. Scholars have understood militarization, in other words, as both an economic phenomenon and a discursive one. They have examined the relationship between militarization and gender relations, racialization, inequality and structural violence, knowledge production, state formation, and a host of other phenomena seemingly far from the military or the battlefield
