Description

This book argues that the pursuit of war and the further militarisation of British democracy since 9/11 has led the UK into a permanent state of war and made the nation particularly prone to military aggression rather than managing conflict through negotiation. Within NATO, Britain is among the most belligerent nations ratcheting up military expenditure and the use of violence to manage conflict. The militarisation of British (and Western) states and authoritarian values have been manufactured to provide domestic support for permanent war. Failure in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine and the Middle East has not reduced confidence in the use of military aggression as NATO seeks confrontation in a ‘New Cold War’ between ‘democracy’ and ‘authoritarian’ Russia and China. Paradoxically, Britain and the West’s militarisation proposes to destroy democracy in order to save it, and to provide authoritarian states with the excuse to become more authoritarian.
