Description
Defense spending absorbs much of the discretionary budget in the United States, yet there is comparatively little public debate about the role of military and norms of militarism in American foreign and domestic policy. Purdue Policy Research Institute (PPRI) will conduct a comprehensive empirical study on the assumptions that underpin U.S. attitudes on foreign and domestic American militarism thatwill be analyzed with an ethnographic method of focus groups and stakeholder interviews. The work will entail media analysis of national and local news. Webinars will be used to disseminate research results to relevant nonprofit organizationsand research briefs to civil society and Congressional offices.The project will catalyze an informed public debate centered on foreign policy and domestic concerns, as well as enable policy actors to reimagine security beyond military solutions.
