Militarisation, masculinisation and organisational exclusion in the crisis preparedness sector

Figures & data

Table 1. Results of data analysis.

Disabling empowerment in crisis preparedness
Process: Militarisation	Characteristics: Masculinisation	Outcome: Organisational exclusion as outcome
Military personnel are recruited from the defence forces to civil agencies	Male-dominated organisation/sector	Withholding information
Use of resources characterised by military symbols (the communications systems, NATO-adaptation, staff work, language use)	Men with experience and seniority are perceived as having more gravitas and interpretation priority	Isolated, not allowed to participate, forgotten, excluded and made invisible
Threat production, civil agencies as protection objects	Active criticism against women’s way of working and making decisions	Belittled in collaboration, not taken seriously as a legitimate actor
Trust in uniform and military personnel in a crisis preparedness context	Face-to-face interaction maintains masculine cohesion
