Document Summary

Gws 10 crafting a global feminist curiosity" to make sense of globalized militarism: Developing a curiosity"" involves exploring, questioning refusing to take something for granted. A feminist curiosity is a crucial tool to use today in making sense of the links between two of the world"s most potent trends: globalization and militarization. Globalization is the process by which anything becomes more interdependent and coordinated across national borders. Often globalization is used as a shorthand label only for the worldwide sprawl of capitalist business organizations and flows of technology, labor, and capital designed to enhance the profits of those businesses. Antiglobalization: social movement inspired by critiques of the capitalist globalizing trend. Militarization: to become militarized is to adopt militaristic values and priorities as one"s own, to see military solutions as effective, and to see the world as a dangerous place best approached with militaristic attitudes.
