<p>Drawing on the insights and lessons from Japanese feminists can enable us all to</p>
<p>be analytically sharper in our understandings of how the politics of both masculinities and of femininities are used to promote and perpetuate both local and globalized militarization. Japanese feminists today are making valuable links, for instance, between their own government's militarized tendencies and those of the US, which has pressured Japan for years to remilitarize. Japanese feminists also are revealing how effective mobilizing of challenges to militarization require fresh - often painful - understandings of women's roles in earlier militarizations. Both of these efforts provide models for all of us.</p><BR/>
