In this article, we trace the interconnections between humanitarianism and militarism. We highlight the significance of a geographical perspective in emphasizing the spatial and multiscalar dimensions of this changing relationship, particularly in Western states. In doing so, we reveal the violent geographies produced through militarized humanitarianism and demonstrate the ways political violence can be obscured through invocations of humanitarianism. We look at five overlapping lines of enquiry: the way humanitarianism is used to modulate war; the rationalization of military intervention as humanitarian; military deployment in response to humanitarian crises; the military take-up of humanitarian-style practices; and weapons development and humanitarianism.

在本文中，我们追溯了人道主义和军国主义之间的相互联系。我们强调地理视角在强调这种不断变化的关系的空间和多尺度维度方面的重要性，特别是在西方国家。在这样做的过程中，我们揭示了由军事化的人道主义产生的暴力地理环境，并展示了通过援引人道主义来掩盖政治暴力的方式。我们着眼于五个重叠的探究线：人道主义被用来调节战争的方式；将军事干预合理化为人道主义；应对人道主义危机的军事部署；军事上采用人道主义风格的做法；武器开发和人道主义。
