Produktbeschreibung
This book examines the political climate that
contributes to the ongoing power arrangements
between military wives, the soldiers they marry,
and power dynamics of the military-industrial-
service-
complex. The tri-methodological research design
used in this study included thirty-three in-depth
interviews with army spouses and participant
observation which took place on an army post, in off-
post homes, at fundraisers, memorials, and at
military and private gatherings. The third phase of
the study was an analysis of four official military
documents that prepared military spouses for
protocol and expected behavior. This study s three
tier methods design links the emotional, coercive,
strategically planned and tactically implemented
actions of the military-industrial-service-complex
to the everyday lives of military wives and soldiers
in situated and diverse contexts. In a
militarization process, informal networks strengthen
the formal institutional networks that reinforce
military principles and hierarchical power
arrangements. It is argued that militarization, war,
and the global economy make exploitation seem normal.
