International Feminist Journal of Politics
The International Feminist Journal of Politics (IFJP) was launched in 1999 by an international community of feminist researchers attached to the Feminist Theory and Gender Studies section of the International Studies Association and the newly launched Gender and International Relations Working Group of the British International Studies Association. The journal has remained connected to the disciplinary field of International Relations, while seek…

I will begin with the journal name itself, as it signals something of the complicated, productive and volatile mix that propelled us towards journal launch and shaped its pages from the first issue
The 'new home front' and the war on terror: Ethical and Political Reframing of National and International Politics
This article uses the concept of the ‘new home front’ to address the ethical and political reframing of national and international politics in the ‘war on terror’. It examines the links between ethics and politics in the context of links between ‘home’ and the ‘front’. The first thing to make clear is that the ‘new home front’ in the war on terror has multiple dimensions to it. Just as it refers to links between ‘home’ (as in national or domestic…
Media and mediation in the ‘war on terror’: Issues and challenges
These research notes offer some reflections on media and the ‘war on terror’ drawn from an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) research seminar series titled ‘Ethics and the War on Terror: Politics, Multiculturalism and Media’. The points cover the relationship of media to questions of security in the ‘war on terror’, and distinctions between old and new media
Globalization, Ethics, and the ‘War on Terror’
This article serves as a lead-in to the special issue and reflects on the relationship between globalization, ethics, and the ‘war on terror’. It argues that while globalization studies have focused substantially on the marketization of life, including the realms of politics and culture, the current ‘war on terror’ phase has directed focus in theory and practice back to traditional state-centred security concerns and critical investigation of sta…
Globalization: Theory and Practice
This fully revised and updated textbook focuses on the major topics of globalization today. These include the impact of migration, relations between the northern and southern hemispheres, how gender and power plays into the globalization process, and the politics and economics of freedom of movement in the world. Two new chapters on the impact of technology on global communications and the effect of the emerging economies of India and China bring…
Globalisation, communications and political action: Special issue introduction
This article introduces the special issue and argues that the contributions in it lead us to think more deeply about the need for endogenous rather than exogenous approaches to information and communications technologies (ICTs) in our analysis of globalisation, communications and political action. The argument covers three areas: globalisation virtual and material processes; communications as integral to politics; political action and new virtual…

Feminist international relations in the age of the war on terror: Ideologies, religions and conflict
This article introduces this theme issue and examines how Feminist International Relations is responding to the war on terror. The articles address ideologies, religions and conflict and highlight the enduring problem of the absence of women's voices in the theory and practice of mainstream International Relations. I argue that the question of agency is central to the issue as a whole: women's agency or lack of it, to shape not only our own lives…
Ethics of access: Globalization, feminism and information society
This article explores the ethics of access in relation to globalization, feminism and information society. It argues that the virtual settings of information and communication technologies (ICTs) are beginning to place significant emphasis on sociospatial as well as geospatial understandings of the world and the interactions that take place within it. The article examines the extreme material and other associated inequalities of contemporary glob…
Feminist International Relations: A contradiction in terms? Or: why women and gender are essential to understanding the world 'we' live in
This article examines the argument that women and gender are essential to the study of International Relations. It explains why this understanding is based on ontological revisionism and examines key areas where feminist International Relations has explored this possibility: war, militarism and security; sovereignty and the state; and globalization

The Political Economy of Time in the Internet Era: Feminist Perspectives and Challenges
This paper examines the gender matrix of time, arguing for cross-disciplinary consideration of political economy, globalization and technology to achieve a detailed understanding of gendered hierarchies of time and the ways in which public/private identifications of social space and time have variously constructed and maintained them. It is argued that women are alienated from their own time, which is identified as most legitimately allocated to …
