ForcesWatch has found the following to be a useful starting definition of militarism:
[https://www.forceswatch.net/comment/what-is-militarism/ ForcesWatch] uses the following to define militarism:


The normalisation of war and preparation for war.
Prioritising the needs and interests of military institutions.
Extension of military culture and influence into everyday life such as in education, central and local government and business, charities etc.
The following quote by Cynthia Enloe is also useful for thinking about how this is taken on and internalised by individuals:
“To become militarised is to adopt militaristic values and priorities as one’s own, to see military solutions as particularly effective, to see the world as a dangerous place best approached with militaristic attitudes.” (Globalization and Militarism: Feminists Make the Link, 2007)


*The normalisation of war and preparation for war.
*Prioritising the needs and interests of military institutions.
*Extension of military culture and influence into everyday life such as in education, central and local government and business, charities etc.
