The paper opens with a refutation of interpretations that equate post-Keynesianism with militarism. Next it examines the geopolitics surrounding closures of military facilities, including Pentagon motivations and the sources of local opposition
. Third, it turns to the geoeconomics of base closures : using input-output analysis, it estimates the total impacts by state attributable to the 1988, 1991 and 1993 waves of closures. Finally, it points to the fruits of alternative uses of such sing
As a consequence of the Cold War, certain regions and sectors of the US economy are now dependent on military spending. At the state level, there is a large degree of locational persistence. At the county scale, there is little correspondence
between the spatial distribution of federal defense of non-defense spending. The « Gunbelt » has higher amounts of federal military allocations.

Recent militarybase closures and realignments in the United States have opened dozens of former training and testing sites to new uses and priorities, as national wildlife refuges. This paper acknowledges some of the real conservation opportunities
provided by military-to-wildlife (M2W) refuges, but emphasizes that restoration and conservation measures at these sites remain bounded by physical and sociopolitical constraints. One outcome of these constraints is opportunistic conservation, where habitat
and wildlife goals are shaped or constrained by the lingering presence of prior military uses. Working from case studies and interviews conducted at M2W sites in the United States, this research suggests that opportunistic conservation represents a limited

Report based on original interviews of army defectors and Burmese villagers. The burmese army, largely uneducated, plays an enormous role in the daily governance of Burma and is indistinguishable from the ruling regime. The army (Tatmadaw

Military training areas proves themselves as large-scale events with a time limit caused by the development of weapon technology, whereas their effects concerning socio-culture and landscape are permanent. This is illustrated by the example
of the northern German military training area Bergen-Hohne (Lüneburg Heath). The abandonment of this military training area will take place in the foreseeable future, so it is necessary to ask how the ecological, social, economical, legal and financial problems

Protracted displacement and militarisation in Eastern Burma
to human security in eastern Burma are related to militarisation. 235 government battalions are based in eastern Burma and the army targets the civilians as a mean of undermining the opposition. Land confiscation and extortion are more widespread impacts
Field researchers of the TBBC have been collaborating with the ethnic community-based organizations to document internal displacement in eastern Burma since 2002. This survey updates information about the scale and distribution of displacement in 38
townships and review trends through an analysis of interviews with over 3100 households between 2005 and 2009. It also includes a conflict assessment based on community consultations in areas of ongoing fighting as well as ceasefire areas. The main threats

L'A. analyse le réseau mondial des bases militaires des Etats-Unis et démontre que la géographie de ce réseau n'est pas seulement façonnée par les objectifs militaires mais aussi par les mouvements de résistance des gouvernements alliés et des
communautés vivant près des bases. A partir de l'exemple des îles de Guam, de Porto Rico, d'Okinawa, d'Hawai et de Diego Suarez, il explique que les stratèges militaires se servent de ces lieux hors de toute souveraineté pour mener à bien leurs activités
. Cependant, ces lieux sont l'objet de l'opposition de réseaux mondialisés à cette militarisation forcée.
