  • Whither Women and Peace and Security

    Open Access•Valerie M Hudson•ARTICLE•Politics & Gender•2025•Cited by: 2•References: 2

    UNSCR 1325, which in 2000 formally announced the international Women and Peace and Security (WPS) agenda for action, enjoins a battle that can never end, one in which women will always find themselves on the back foot—but one which remains worth fighting. It is the battle to make the ear of man listen to what women know about security and about peace that men might not. It is also the battle to understand that there will be no peace within and be…

  • Sex and Terror: Is the Subordination of Women Associated with the Use of Terror

    Valerie M Hudson, Kaylee B Hodgson•ARTICLE•Terrorism and Political Violence•2022•Cited by: 2

    The overwhelming percentage of the perpetrators of terrorism are male: is this noteworthy, or not? We believe that it is. More specifically, we believe there is a complex mix of sex-linked grievance for men, sex-linked training for men, and sex-linked lack of voice for women that facilitates, and may even catalyze, the perpetration of terrorism. Without knowledge of those sex-linked pathways, we argue that efforts to counter terror are less effec…

  • Foreign Policy Analysis: Origins (1954–93) and Contestations

    Valerie M Hudson, Valerie Hudson•BOOK•Comparative Immigration Policy•2018

    A country’s foreign policy, also called its foreign relations, consists of self-interest strategies chosen by the state to safeguard its national interests and to achieve goals within its international relations (IR) milieu. The study of such strategic plans is called foreign policy analysis (FPA). The inception of foreign relations in human affairs and the need for foreign policy to deal with them is as old as the organization of human life in g…

  • The Boundedness of Foreign Policy Analysis Theory

    Klaus Brummer, Valerie M Hudson•ARTICLE•Global Society•2017•Cited by: 2

    Is there a “North American-ness” to the theoretical frameworks of Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA)? To answer that question, this special issue asks scholars from areas outside of North America to reflect upon whether they have had to challenge or transcend the originary “North American-ness” of the conceptual frameworks and empirical methodologies they have used—including the operational code approach, the bureaucratic politics model and Groupthink…

    Valerie M Hudson, Hilary Matfe et al.•ARTICLE•International Security•2017•Cited by: 6•References: 12

    Approximately seventy-five percent of the world's population lives in countries where asset exchange upon marriage is obligatory. Rising brideprice—money or gifts provided to a woman's family by the groom and his family as part of marriage arrangements—is a common if overlooked catalyst of violent conflict. In patrilineal (and some matrilineal) societies where brideprice is practiced, a man's social status is directly connected to his marital sta…

    Open Access•Andrea Den Boer, Valerie M Hudson et al.•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•2017•Cited by: 27•References: 38

    Recent advances in promoting the rights of women and girls globally have been partially offset by increasing implementation of son preference through offspring sex selection, leading to rising sex ratios at birth1 (SRB) and child sex ratios throughout Asia, as well as parts of Eastern Europe and Africa. The past two decades have seen the number of countries with high child sex ratios increase from five to nineteen (Hudson and den Boer 2015). In r…

  • The history and evolution of foreign policy analysis

    Valerie M Hudson•CHAPTER•Foreign Policy•2016

    This chapter traces the history and evolution of foreign policy analysis (FPA) as a subfield of international relations (IR) from its beginnings in the 1950s through its classical period until 1993. It begins with a discussion of three paradigmatic works that laid the foundation of FPA: Decision Making as an Approach to the Study of International Politics (1954), by Richard C. Snyder, H. W. Bruck, and Burton Sapin; ‘Pre-theories and Theories of F…

    We propose that the relative influence of clans is an important explanatory factor producing significant variation in state stability and security across societies. We explore the micro-level processes that link clan predominance with dysfunctional syndromes of state behavior. Clans typically privilege agnatic descent from the patriline and are characterized by extreme subordination of women effected through marriage practices. Particular types o…

  • But Now Can See: One Academic's Journey to Feminist Security Studies

    Open Access•Valerie M Hudson•ARTICLE•Politics & Gender•2011•Cited by: 9•References: 6

    This essay expresses my gratitude for the spirit of inclusiveness shown by the first generation of Feminist Security Studies (FSS) scholars. I would like to see FSS remain a large tent, for in constructing boundaries for FSS, we may unintentionally make it smaller than it really is. Indeed, I would like to explore the value of inclusiveness to FSS by undertaking a bit of autobiography. I was a poor candidate to wind up as part of this field; the …

    Family law” is the term applied to the legal regulation of marriage and parenthood within a society, and may serve to express a society's accepted ideals concerning male–female relations. Adopting a feminist evolutionary analytic (FEA) approach, we hypothesize that nation-states with higher degrees of inequity in family law favoring men, codifying an evolutionary legacy of male dominance and control over female reproduction, will experience highe…

  • Discrete Sequence Rule Models as a Social Science Methodology: An Exploratory Analysis of Foreign Policy Rule Enactment within Palestinian–Israeli Event Data

    Existing formal models of political behavior have followed the lead of the natural sciences and generally focused on methods that use contin-uous-variable mathematics.

    Will the rise of China as a global power bring greater stability or greater conflict to the international system? A small cottage industry has appeared, which attempts to resolve this question through the concept of “strategic culture.” Ancient Legalist and Confucian texts, as well as dynastic histories, undergo exegesis of the most minute and detailed variety in order to shed some light on enduring themes and predispositions inherent in the Chin…

    Will the rise of China as a global power bring greater stability or greater conflict to the international system? A small cottage industry has appeared, which attempts to resolve this question through the concept of “strategic culture.” Ancient Legalist and Confucian texts, as well as dynastic histories, undergo exegesis of the most minute and detailed variety in order to shed some light on enduring themes and predispositions inherent in the Chin…

  • The Heart of the Matter: The Security of Women and the Security of States

    Valerie M Hudson, Mary Caprioli et al.•ARTICLE•International Security•2009•Cited by: 50•References: 51

    Does the security of women influence the security and behavior of states? Existing evidence linking the situation of women to state-level variables such as economic prosperity and growth, health, and corruption is fairly conclusive. Questions remain, however, concerning the degree to which state security and state security-related behavior is linked to the security of women. The “women and peace” thesis draws upon evolutionary biology/psychology …

  • But Now Can See: One Academic's Journey to Feminist Security Studies

    Open Access•Valerie M Hudson•ARTICLE•Politics & Gender•2011•Cited by: 9•References: 6

    This essay expresses my gratitude for the spirit of inclusiveness shown by the first generation of Feminist Security Studies (FSS) scholars. I would like to see FSS remain a large tent, for in constructing boundaries for FSS, we may unintentionally make it smaller than it really is. Indeed, I would like to explore the value of inclusiveness to FSS by undertaking a bit of autobiography. I was a poor candidate to wind up as part of this field; the …

    Family law” is the term applied to the legal regulation of marriage and parenthood within a society, and may serve to express a society's accepted ideals concerning male–female relations. Adopting a feminist evolutionary analytic (FEA) approach, we hypothesize that nation-states with higher degrees of inequity in family law favoring men, codifying an evolutionary legacy of male dominance and control over female reproduction, will experience highe…
