Up in Arm: Vron Ware's column for Open Democracy

To further explore the militarisation of every day life in its shifting global context, Vron now publishes a column on Open Democracy website, Up in Arms, that will address the idea that Britain has been undergoing some complex processes of militarisation as a consequence of ‘Blair’s wars’. The column will explore what this might mean for Britons in today’s securitised climate, and will also raise more general questions about the future of national armed forces everywhere as bastions of public service and national identity.
