    Matthew Hurley, Katharine A M Wright et al.ARTICLEDefence Studies2024References: 12

    As NATO marks its 75th anniversary it is facing a future more uncertain than at any point since the end of the Cold War. The European security environment is changed and challenged by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, while the Israel-Gaza war poses further challenges. Given this critical moment, this article offers a strategic intervention to highlight and reinforce the essential role of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda in defe…

  • Watermelons and Weddings: Making Women, Peace and Security “Relevant” at Nato Through (Re)Telling Stories of Success

    Matthew HurleyARTICLEGlobal Society2018Cited by: 6References: 4

    This article analyses how the Women, Peace and Security agenda is made ‘relevant’ at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) through the (re)telling of stories of success: one concerning watermelon and the other, the preparation for a wedding. The article provides a critical examination of how 'new' gender norms, in particular a 'gender perspective', are normalised within NATO, through narratives and storytelling, in ways that are political…

Here, we engage in self-reflexivity, drawing on our conversation to consider what it means for feminist scholars to ‘study up’. We argue tha…

  • The 'genderman: (Re)negotiating militarized masculinities when 'doing gender' at Nato

    Matthew HurleyARTICLECritical Military Studies2018Cited by: 14References: 35

    As a result of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) engagement with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 and the Women, Peace and Security agenda, military personnel have been tasked with engaging with and implementing NATO's interpretation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda, to do 'gender work' within the alliance. There is only a small – though increasing – number of men working full time on gender issues within the m…

  • Navigating gender, power and perceptions when researching Nato: A conversation

    Katharine A M Wright, Matthew HurleyARTICLEInternational Feminist Journal of…2017Cited by: 5

    We both carried out our PhD research on the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s (NATO) engagement with the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. While Katharine’s focus was on the alliance’s political structures and public diplomacy and included visits to NATO in 2014, Matt’s research visits took place in 2012 and examined NATO’s military structures and the (re)construction of military masculinities and femininities. What follows is a conversa…
