Biography
Aida A. Hozić is Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Florida. Her research is situated at the intersection of political economy, cultural studies, and international security.
Jacqui True is Professor of International Relations and Director of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence against Women (CEVAW). Her research is focused on the political economy of violence against women, conflict-related gender-based violence, and feminist foreign policy analysis.
‘By denaturalizing the war economy through a gendered political economy lens, Hozić and True offer analysis and alternatives to the devastating turn towards militarization. This work is urgent and necessary.’
Mona Ali, Associate Professor, Department of Economics,State University of New York, New Paltz, NY, USA
‘War Economy: Gendered Circuits of Violence and Capital holds up a feminist mirror to today’s capital and state led economies of war and politics of violence to show how these gendered circuits enmesh international and national conflicts and crisis with the everyday economies of social reproduction. This approach is urgently needed for our thinking about today’s crisis ridden world.’
Shirin Rai, Distinguished Research Professor, SOAS, University of London
‘This impressive, wide-ranging volume interrogates the deadly interplay of capital, bodies, weapons and militarized technologies in wars and conflicts. Individually and together, the chapters offer the reader much-needed feminist insights into the rapid and complex changes unfolding in the global political economy.’
Srdjan Vucetic, Professor at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa, USA
