Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay utilizes a transnational framework to introduce the concept of warcare, which I define as the co-constitutive relationship between humanitarian work and counterinsurgency, by exploring the enactment of Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) counterinsurgency in San Diego as an extension of the U.S. War on Terror. I identify the rhetoric put forth by CVE programming and examine the material impact its programming has on refugees in the U.S. as well as communities in countries militarized by the United States. In doing so, I analyze the symbiotic relationship between militarization, displacement, and humanitarian work.
