Abstract

ABSTRACT This review article examines Chris Rossdale’s Resisting Militarism: Direct Action and the Politics of Subversion, bringing its critical analysis of British antimilitarism into conversation with my doctoral project on the socio-legal analysis of conscientious objection in Turkey, the only country that has not recognized the right to conscientious objection among the members of the Council of Europe. It demonstrates how considering the various facets of militarism within different geographical contexts could help us to better understand the diverse resistance strategies. The article draws on Rossdale’s findings of antimilitarism in the UK and the semi-structured interviews that I conducted with 18 conscientious objectors in Turkey in June–July 2016 using snowballing sampling. It argues that militarism does not only shape society, but also interact with its social, cultural, economic, political elements. As a result, individuals coming from diverse social settings encounter militarization in diverse ways, which, in effect, has implications on how anti-militarists resist militarism.

从反军事分子的抵抗策略看军国主义

摘要这篇综述文章考察了Chris Rossdale的《反抗军国主义：直接行动与颠覆政治》，将其对英国反军事主义的批判性分析与我的博士项目《土耳其良心拒服兵役的社会法律分析》进行了对话，欧洲委员会成员中唯一不承认依良心拒服兵役权的国家。它展示了在不同的地理背景下考虑军国主义的各个方面如何帮助我们更好地理解不同的抵抗策略。这篇文章借鉴了罗斯代尔对英国反军事主义的调查结果，以及我在2016年6月至7月使用滚雪球抽样对土耳其18名出于良心拒服兵役者进行的半结构化采访。它认为军国主义不仅塑造了社会，而且与社会、文化、经济和政治因素相互作用。因此，来自不同社会环境的个人以不同的方式遭遇军事化，这实际上对反军国主义者如何抵制军国主义产生了影响。

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.
