Kvinner, fred og sikkerhet i finsk utenrikspolitikk
Denne fokusartikkelen gjennomgår 25 år med sammenkoblinger mellom agendaen for kvinner, fred og sikkerhet (women, peace and security, WPS) og finsk utenrikspolitikk. Artikkelen belyser den rollen sentrale finske politiske ledere har spilt i vedtakelsen, utviklingen og gjennomføringen av WPS-agendaen, og sporer dens institusjonalisering i finsk utenrikspolitikk gjennom fire nasjonale handlingsplaner. Med utgangspunkt i feministisk forskning unders…
Becoming Nato brothers
This article analyses how government officials in Finland and Sweden reconciled their national identities as historically non-aligned countries with NATO membership.

Through intersectional reading, I suggest that this discrepancy can be best explain…
Collective Discussion
Feminist peace research is an emerging field of social sciences that is transdisciplinary, intersectional, and normative—as well as transnational. Although it draws from disciplines such as peace and conflict research (in and outside of international relations [IR]) as well as feminist security studies, it also differs from them in terms of research scope and research design. Consequently, it not only provides insights on what can be termed “spec…
My heart was already cooked’
The number of studies on children in war has steadily increased in the fields of international relations, international law and moral philosophy in recent years. Most of this research has evolved around the legal and moral status of children in war. The status of girl soldiers is particularly intriguing, as it conflates common assumptions about both women and children as innocent victims of war. In this paper we look at narratives of children’s v…
