Summary:

The five papers in this e-book are intended to provide a basis for the reconceptualisation and recontextualisation of the military and militarization in relation to international business.The contents critically explore, address and challenge petrified conceptual and contextual notions as well as organizational cultural and political sociologies while gesturing toward the multifarious internal ways in which military ideas,experiences,technologies and organizations infuse and affect cultural theory and practice.The e-book contains a range of paper types,and covers a widenational and cultural span,embracing not only an intra-diversity of United Kingdom critical communities, but also Asian context scentring on Singapore,NorthAmerican perspectives,Nordic contexts sourced from Finland,and Australasian inputs from New Zealand.
