I found a few interesting abstracts , including a provocative one about how political responses to natural disasters may promote the militarization of nature , but nothing that addressed what I had in mind .
Henry giroux , one of the founding scholars of critical pedagogy in the us , for example , recently wrote a thought-provoking essay in the online magazine counterpunch , deploring the creeping " militarization " of american society .
Another is the role of the military in diplomacy , where , as ronald e. neumann , a former us ambassador recently said , there has been a " progressive militarization of american foreign policy over the past 20 years " .
