SOSS Seminar | How Militarization Impacts the Climate Crisis: Findings from Research in Global Political Economy
In this talk I will provide an overview of ongoing collaborative research concerning the ways in which militarization, as a form of coercive power, contributes to anthropogenic carbon emissions for nations throughout the world. First, I will summarize research on the short-run and long-run effects of militarization on national carbon emissions. Second, I will describe research that focuses on how militarization shapes the effect of economic growth on nations’ carbon emissions. Third, I will summarize research on militarization facilitating and supporting transnational capital in Global North nations outsourcing their carbon pollution to Global South nations. Finally, I will make a strong call for scholars across all disciplines to seriously consider the impacts of militarization on climate change and other sustainability concerns.
