Abstract
This article argues that we should not explain militarism only economically, nor see it as having merely an ‘internal’ logic. The state and the international system of states are centrally important in militarism. We urgently need further work on militarism and gender, on militarism as culture and on the socialist use of armed forces.Keywords
