Abstract

intrinsic working thus . . . unsettle fundamental assumptions about the relationship between violence, sacrifice, and exchange embedded in U.S. and international law. They constitute something distinct: an offshore military labour force that allows the United States to keep politically sensitive troop numbers and casualty figures artificially low while also reducing dependence on local populations with suspect loyalties. TCN vulnerability is thus a feature, not a flaw, of how the U.S. projects power overseas today (Li 2015, 128).

补偿帝国的劳动力

内在工作因此。扰乱了美国和国际法中关于暴力、牺牲和交换之间关系的基本假设。它们构成了一种独特的东西：一支离岸军事劳动力队伍，使美国能够人为地将政治敏感的部队人数和伤亡数字保持在较低水平，同时也减少了对当地忠诚可疑的人口的依赖。因此，TCN漏洞是当今美国向海外投射力量的一个特征，而不是缺陷（Li 2015128）。

期刊介绍： Critical Military Studies provides a rigorous, innovative platform for interdisciplinary debate on the operation of military power. It encourages the interrogation and destabilization of often taken-for-granted categories related to the military, militarism and militarization. It especially welcomes original thinking on contradictions and tensions central to the ways in which military institutions and military power work, how such tensions are reproduced within different societies and geopolitical arenas, and within and beyond academic discourse. Contributions on experiences of militarization among groups and individuals, and in hitherto underexplored, perhaps even seemingly ‘non-military’ settings are also encouraged. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to double-blind peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. The Journal also includes a non-peer reviewed section, Encounters, showcasing multidisciplinary forms of critique such as film and photography, and engaging with policy debates and activism.
