Global Gender Politics analyzes the gender(ed) divisions of power, violence, labor, and resources that contribute to global crises of representation, insecurity, and sustainability.

This new edition of a foundational contribution to the field of Feminist International Relations—co‑authored with a new generation of feminist global politics scholars—continues to examine long‑standing and new challenges for placing inequalities and resisting injustices at the center of global politics scholarship and practice through intersectional and transnational feminist lenses that challenge the power of gender. Accessible and student‑friendly, this book emphasizes how hard‑won attention to reducing gender and other inequalities to stem global crises is now jeopardized by the consolidation of new and old anti‑equality authoritarianisms, arising from the deprivations of neoliberal capitalism, undermining human and planetary welfare and creating conditions and desires for reassertions of patriarchal rule and relations. In the context of this shift in world order and the centrality of gender to that shift, analyses of gendered global governance, global security, and global political economy are updated and expanded, finding that gender equality norms are being rolled back, gendered insecurities are being heightened by increased war and militarization (including the rise of cyberviolence), and gendered injustices, laid bare by the COVID pandemic, are growing with the rise of oligarchic corporate power, the increased informalization of labor and extraction of resources, and the further breakdowns in social reproduction and denials of reproductive justice. But this book also finds promise in ongoing feminist struggles for democracy and social justice, providing new case studies of transnational and translocal feminist organizing for democratization, nonviolence, and sustainable human and planetary life.

To provide support to instructors and readers, this edition includes new questions for discussion, suggested readings, illustrative boxes, and an accompanying e‑resource containing web resources, sample quizzes, and a recorded conversation among the co‑authors.

Global Gender Politics will be of great use to students of Politics, International Relations, Gender Studies, and those working on Global Governance, Security, Political Economy, and Justice. It will also be of interest to scholars who have followed the previous editions.

Critics' Reviews

"We need this fresh edition of Global Gender Politics now more than ever.
Precisely today, when the autocratic and militarizing people in power imagine they can brush aside feminist political investigators, we need to push back: this new edition will enable us each to hone our feminist curiosities and sharpen our feminist exploratory skills.
Equipped with both, we will be able to make clear sense of this world and take effective action in it."

Cynthia Enloe, author of Twelve Feminist Lessons of War

"Global Gender Politics is a contemporary tour de force. It is accessible, powerful, forceful and an absolutely necessary book for our times. Each chapter immediately captures the reader’s attention with prescient questions – all of which are answered informatively and with great clarity. Gender, in all its mysterious, malevolent and metamorphosing forms, is laid bare for all to apprehend. Describing gender as a "meta-lens," the 6th edition of this foundational text offers compelling analyses of "gender work" in global politics. It not only provides crucial analytical tools for students and all learners, it leaves us with a measure of hope to hold on to in these overly violent times."

Marysia Zakewski, Professor of International Relations, Cardiff University

"This sixth edition of _Global Gender Politics_ offers a sharp and timely account of how gendered power relations shape contemporary global politics. It shows how inequalities in authority, security, and economic life are not peripheral concerns but central drivers of global crises – from conflict and democratic backsliding to widening social and environmental instability.

The text is a good balance of theory and empirics, providing a necessary introduction to feminist approaches in international relations while engaging contemporaneous developments. This pedagogically innovative text with its discussion questions and accompanying online resources, as well sample quiz questions, is essential support for teachers and students alike.

This text will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, international relations, and gender studies, especially."

Professor Toni Haastrup, FAcSS, SFHEA, Chair in Global Politics, University of Manchester
