The Garrison State is a concept first introduced in a seminal, highly influential and cited 1941 article originally published in the American Journal of Sociology by political scientist and sociologist Harold Lasswell.[1] It was a "developmental construct" that outlined the possibility of a political-military elite composed of "specialists in violence" in a modern state.[2][3][4]
The Garrison State is a state dominated by the military-industrial complex. President Dwight D. Eisenhower believed that a deep, even paranoid, fear of the military might and superiority of Soviet Union would turn the United States into a "garrison state", with an economy dominated by military spending and civil liberties eroded. The military-industrial complex became a force in itself, consuming a majority of the United States discretionary federal budget at the expense of infrastructure, educational or health spending, spreading fear among the populace and looking for enemies to replace the Soviet Union after the end of the Cold War.[5] The Garrison State is an American political concept not to be confused with the Garrison mentality found in Canadian history and current tradition by Northrop Frye and Margaret Atwood.
