Although militarism is central to modern society, the analysis of it is very fragmented. This fragmentation arises because militarism is not a unitary phenomenon, but a portmanteau description covering a number of distinct aspects. These include: high levels of military expenditure; the militarisation of domestic social relations; the use of force in international relations; and the nuclear arms race. Each of the different aspects of militarism arises in an organic way from major conflicts in the modern world. Each has a particular momentum which arises partly from the dynamic of the conflict and partly from the dynamic of the corresponding form of military organisation and technology.

Scholars have characterized the early decades of the Cold War as an era of rising militarism in the United States but most Americans continued to identify themselves as fundamentally anti-militaristic. To them, "militaristic" defined the authoritarian regimes of Germany and Japan that the nation had defeated in World War II--aggressive, power-hungry countries in which the military possessed power outside civilian authority.

Drawing on cross-cultural comparisons and examples from popular media, including

The Y's of militarism are grouped into 4 categories: the belief in military deference, conservative nat'lism, lack of peace responsibility & anti-Communism. Scales measuring militarism, authoritarianism, conservatism & tendermindedness, rigidity & intolerance of ambiguity & dogmatism were used in the study. They were admin'ed to 46 persons attending a Quaker-UNESCO seminar on Grindstone Island, in 1967. Common features shown were a pattern of self-contradiction, denial or repression of this conflict, projection of denied, disliked aspects of the self upon others, which then justified the actualization of denied values in order to contain or control these values as perceived in others. Another feature of the militaristic complex was a pattern of rigid & restrictive childhood training practices. Militarism is seen to be at least partly a function of a hypocritically restrictive culture. H. Rosen.
