Abstract

Militarized international system implies the incorporation of military institutions into the capitalistic equation of trade and finance, which, like the state with its welfare and economic-cycle management autonomy, achieve similar autonomy from capitalist rule by stabilizing the system for their continued existence. Systemic stabilization within a crisis-prone system implies that when capitalism faces systemic crises, the conduct of war within the militarized states by the dominant Command States, via military Keynesianism, stabilizes the system. Such stabilization based on an extension of C. Wright Mills’ The Power Elite requires a permanent defense network of countries as a counterpart to the permanent defense industry that defines the military industrial complex within the United States. As a counterpart to the permanent war economy that has been a distinguishing feature of a reconstituted and evolved capitalism post-World War II, a regional militarized globalization in this system has involved a “permanent defense network” of nation states.
