What keeps women safe from violence during shocks? Review of risk and protective factors in the Indo-Pacific region
Violence against women (VAW) can escalate during and immediately after shocks, thus underscoring the need to better understand and identify the protective factors that mitigate the risks. This scoping review examines the risks and protective factors associated with VAW during shocks – intense, acute or sudden events that include conflicts, financial crises, health emergencies and natural disasters, with a focus on the Indo-Pacific region (46 coun…
Beyond binaries
Antifeminism is one of the ideological pillars of the far right that demands careful consideration in the context of efforts to counter and prevent the far right. Antifeminism is a political stance that opposes efforts to end inequality and domination and can appear across different ideologies, including far-right and liberal politics. Antifeminism is described as an “ideological hinge” and hence represents a double bind for counter-efforts. This…
Bridging the gap
Multilateral institutions committed to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda have adopted a range of different approaches to integrating gender in counterterrorism and prevention and countering of violent extremism (CT/PCVE) policies. Why and how have their approaches varied so widely? We employ feminist-informed critical frame analysis to explore gender in CT/PCVE multilateral policies across eight institutions. The study uncovers multiple,…
Pacific priorities for the prevention of violence against women and girls
box The prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the Pacific is a regional priority, but solutions must be Pacific-centred
Impact of Social, Political, and Environmental Events on Violence Against Women in the Indo-Pacific
The Indo-Pacific region faces frequent and intense social, political, and environmental events (herein described as shocks), including conflicts, health emergencies, economic crises, and disasters, that can increase the risk of violence against women (VAW). Yet the region is underrepresented in global research that examines the impact of these events on VAW. This scoping review identifies and analyses published peer-reviewed literature on the imp…
Regulation of domestic violence
The presence and types of DV laws matter significantly for IPV prevalence. Comprehensive legal frameworks are vital in effectively mitigating DV
The Weaponization of Sexual Violence
The unlikely marriage of counterterrorism and Women, Peace and Security Agenda in Indonesia
Using Data Science to Examine Conflict-Related Sexual Violence
The lack of data is a major barrier to comprehending conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). Existing studies indicate a high prevalence of violence but limited documentation. Media are often the first to report CRSV, thus, can data science methods analyze news reports promptly and accurately? We compare manual, machine-learning and Generative AI analysis of thousands of media reports. Five variables can be automatically coded with high accuracy…
Analysing power and gender dynamics in the German far-right network
With growing media attention and the increased visibility of female leaders, influencers, and groups within the far right, some analysts argue that the movement presents itself with a `female face,’ incorporating liberal values such as women’s empowerment -a phenomenon often described as paradoxical. This paper investigates the gender dynamics, roles, and influence of women and women-led groups within Europe’s far-right online networks, focusing …
Is Scholar-Activism an Oxymoron? Reflecting on the Challenges and Opportunities for Scholarly Activism or Activist Scholarship in the Politics and Gender Field
Scholar-activism, which we define as scholarship that seeks to contribute knowledge to activism is often underappreciated. From a methodological perspective, the positionality of scholar-activists is too often misunderstood. Yet scholar-activism is a relatively common approach to generating new knowledge about hard-to-access, repressive contexts while also assisting political movements and their strategies. Feminist-informed scholarship necessita…
Is Scholar-Activism an Oxymoron? Reflecting on the Challenges and Opportunities for Scholarly Activism or Activist Scholarship in the Politics and Gender Field – Corrigendum
The Gendered Politics of State-Sanctioned Extremism
Research on extremism has increasingly incorporated a gender perspective, revealing how the politics of extremism and gender fuel one another. Yet most evidence of the gendered politics of extremism is on far-right and Islamist non-state actors, neglecting other forms, including state-sanctioned extremism in which the state is complicit with the violent effects of extremism. This article investigates a type of state-sanctioned extremism, wherein …
Diffusion of Policy to Address Violence Against Women
Many countries globally have adopted national policy commitments to address violence against women (VAW). Yet the implementation of these policies largely relies on subnational governments’ actions. Why do some but not all subnational governments adopt policies to implement VAW response services? Surprisingly, few studies have addressed this question. Drawing on norm diffusion and gender policy reform theories, we assess the factors driving the a…
Australia in World Affairs 2011–2015
The Australia in World Affairs series commenced in 1950 and provides a continuous, researched scholarly account of Australia's foreign policy. The twelfth volume, Australia in World Affairs 2011–2015: Navigating the New International Disorder, covered a turbulent period both domestically and internationally. Australia had four Prime Ministers in this period alone, there were growing challenges in the Middle East and Europe, as well as on Australi…
Contesting the World
Over the past thirty years, norms research has evolved into a significant subfield within International Relations and beyond. 'Contesting the World' delves into the development of norms, exploring their emergence, change and legitimacy on both domestic and international levels. This in-depth volume presents the interpretation-contestation framework, positioning it as the primary theoretical mechanism for understanding norms. Leading scholars span…
The global rise of extremisms
In recent years, feminist scholarship has contributed gender perspectives to examine extremist narratives, motivations and recruitment, as well as gender-responsive strategies to counter extremism. A systematic framework for analysing how gender operates at multiple levels to promote or counter extremisms, however, does not exist. To address this need, we offer a typology with three dimensions drawn from feminist theory: gendered identity, referr…
Geopolitical Narratives of Withdrawal and the Counter-Narrative of Women's Rights Activism in Afghanistan
Gendered narratives are political narratives that frequently frame decisions to go to war or broker peace. Such geopolitical narratives both enable the protection of women's rights and violate them. Women's rights, specifically, have been used as a rhetorical device by security policymakers to persuade people of the urgency and legitimacy of foreign intervention or withdrawal. We explore how gendered, geopolitical narratives work to construct und…
Bargaining with Patriarchy in Peacemaking
After two decades of effort to embed Women, Peace, and Security (WPS), why and how did the agenda fail to transform patriarchal gendered structures and prevent the regression of women’s rights and security in Afghanistan? To address this question, the paper investigates how the WPS agenda was conceptualized and operationalized in Afghanistan. We apply Kandiyoti’s concept of patriarchal bargains to analyze multi-level power dynamics across four pe…
Gender-based violence policy reform
Governments worldwide are increasingly engaging service users to reform public policies and services and enhance public value. Survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) are one group seeking to be heard by governments and gradually being engaged to improve policy outcomes. However, the history of the victims’ rights movement and feminist scholarship on political institutions indicate significant risks for survivors in these engagements with the st…
When staying home isn’t safe
Times of crisis are associated with increased violence against women, often with reduced access to support services. COVID-19 is no exception with public health control measures restricting people’s movements and confining many women and children to homes with their abusers. Recognising the safety risks posed by lockdowns the United Nations declared violence against women ‘the shadow pandemic’ in April 2020. In the Australian state of Victoria, r…

Covid-19 as a policy window
Policy windows emerge through alignment among specific policy problems, political forces, and proposed policy responses. During policy windows, it becomes possible for change to occur, driven by the agenda-setting of policy entrepreneurs. We consider how the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) created a significant policy window. As we do so, we seek to advance theorization of the conditions under which policy change occurs and when it sticks. We grou…
I Wouldn’t Want to Be a Gender Expert
Peace mediation is a professional practice that is increasingly reliant on thematic technical experts, including gender experts. The strategy of including gender expertise in peace mediation reflects the Women, Peace and Security agenda and the call to include dedicated gender expertise in all peacemaking efforts. Based on interviews with peace mediation practitioners, the article analyzes the role of gender experts in peace mediation. We argue t…
Transnational Networks and Policy Diffusion
How can we account for the global diffusion of remarkably similar policy innovations across widely differing nation-states? In an era characterized by heightened globalization and increasingly radical state restructuring, this question has become especially acute. Scholars of international relations offer a number of theoretical explanations for the cross-national convergence of ideas, institutions, and interests. We examine the proliferation of …
Rethinking the life cycles of international norms
The diffusion of international norms and their effects on policy and political behaviour are central research questions in international relations. Informed by constructivism, prevailing models are marked by a crucial tension between a static view of norm content and a dynamic picture of norm adoption and implementation. Observing that norms continue to evolve after they emerge, we argue that a discursive approach offers a more promising way forw…
Mainstreaming Gender in Global Public Policy
Efforts to mainstream a gender perspective in global public policy have been prompted by the proliferation of transnational networking among women's movements. Collaboration among feminist researchers, advocates and policymakers is making gender analysis part of the routine practices and institutions of global governance. For feminist scholars of international relations, gender mainstreaming in global public policy opens up an important new area …
Reframing conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence
Over the past decade, significant global attention has been paid to the issue of ‘widespread and systematic’ sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). To contribute to the prevention of SGBV, researchers have examined the relationship between the presence of armed conflict and the causes of SGBV. Much of this causal literature has focused on the individual and group perpetrator dynamics that fuel SGBV. However, we argue that research needs to lay …
Reflexivity in Practice
How can we study power and identify ways to mitigate its abuse in the real world when we, as researchers, also participate in the projection of power through knowledge claims? Informing epistemological perspective, theoretical choices, research design, data collection, data analysis, exposition of findings, and venues for sharing findings, feminism offers many answers. We argue that the most important feminist tool for guiding international relat…
Explaining the global diffusion of the Women, Peace and Security agenda
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) is the most significant international normative framework addressing the gender-specific impacts of conflict on women and girls including protection against sexual and gender-based violence, promoting women’s participation in peace and security and supporting their roles as peace builders in the prevention of conflict. In the decade since 2004 when the UN Secretary-General first called fo…
Brexit as a scandal
‘Brexit’ was a watershed moment. It has made visible the major faultlines and fissures that underlie the so-called ‘United Kingdom’ (UK) and our increasingly globalized world. But the precise nature of those faultlines and fissures requires multiple strands of critical analysis and interpretation. To date, most analyses have highlighted the socio-economic class and immigration or rather race/empire reasons for the Brexit vote neglecting their gen…
Towards inclusive peace
The presence of gender provisions in peace agreements affects women’s participation in post-conflict societies as well as the chances that a post-conflict society will move towards gender equality. While there is an overall upward trend in the number of references to women’s rights and gender equality in peace agreements, gender-sensitive agreements are not a given. Why and how are peace agreements with gender provisions adopted? We use statistic…
A Century of International Relations Feminism
We examine feminism in international relations from the emergence of women's peace pragmatism during WWI to the development of the United Nations (UN) Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda a century later. We argue that feminism did not come late to international relations. Rather, international relations came late to feminism. Moreover, we show how the principles articulated by women peace activists at the 1915 Hague Conference represent disti…
Equality means business? Governing gender through transnational public-private partnerships
From the World Bank's ‘gender equality is smart economics’ to The Economist's ‘womenomics’ and Nike's ‘girl effect’, feminism seems to have well and truly penetrated the business world. Government action on behalf of gender equality is well institutionalized but private corporations appear as a new actor in this cause. This article asks: What do businesses and their public partners do in order to advance gender equality? What motivates their enga…
An Intersectional Analysis of International Relations
In this essay we use a basic feminist analytical tool, intersectionality, to understand why we do not see more women across the spectrum and at all levels in the international relations field in the United States. Our intersectional analysis reveals that to understand why women are underrepresented in IR, we should not look harder at women in IR but rather at IR as a discipline
From Depletion to Regeneration
Drawing on depletion through social reproduction and political economy of violence against women (PEVAW) approaches, we show how the context of violence intensifies the depletion of women’s lives as they labor to meet their household needs; and how this depletion heightens their vulnerability to violence in conflict-affected contexts and inhibits their roles in peacebuilding. We propose the concept of the “regenerative state,” as a post-conflict …

Gendering Foreign Policy
This article seeks to explain the rise of pro-gender norms and feminist strategies in foreign policy, which are increasingly salient in global politics. How can this trend be theorized? In what ways is this development resisted and contested by other states and international actors? To what extent can we trace continuity and change in regard to gender and foreign policy? To address these major research questions and to spur cross-national compara…
Norm Entrepreneurship in Foreign Policy
Theories of international norm diffusion rely on accounts of entrepreneurial action almost exclusively identified as normative non-state actors who persuade powerful states to change their behaviour. We argue that powerful state agents can (also) be moral norm entrepreneurs and explicate the foreign policy acts that make them significant agents of international socialisation. Unlike non-state actors who set the agenda by advocating for new norms,…
Continuums of Violence and Peace
What does world peace mean? Peace is more than the absence and prevention of war, whether international or civil, yet most of our ways of conceptualizing and measuring peace amount to just that definition. In this essay, as part of the roundtable “World Peace (And How We Can Achieve It),” I argue that any vision of world peace must grapple not only with war but with the continuums of violence and peace emphasized by feminists: running from the ho…
The politics of counting and reporting conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence
Scholars, states and international organizations have begun to systematically count, document and compare sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in conflict-affected countries. Qualitative and quantitative studies point to a “tip of the iceberg” phenomenon, where there is a high prevalence but low level of actual reporting of SGBV. We investigate the conditions in which SGBV is reported or, more significantly, is not reported to discover the tre…
One year on from the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan
One year on from the Taliban’s takeover, what has changed in Afghanistan? Why has re-instituting a gender apartheid regime been so central to the Taliban 2.0’s (Taliban 2.0 refers to the second version of the Taliban that came to power in August 2021. The first Taliban rule were from 1996 to 2001.) consolidation of power in Afghanistan since August 2021? We address these questions by explaining how gender has become a salient feature of multi-lev…
A Tale of Two Feminisms in International Relations? Feminist Political Economy and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda
A photo depicting Russian President Vladimir Putin in chivalrous fashion, placing his coat around the shoulders of China's first lady at an Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) dinner made headline news around the world in November 2014 (Allen-Ebrahimian 2014). Surely this is not the serious stuff of international politics, IR colleagues commented in social media forums? But from a feminist perspective that pays attention to the pervasive gen…
The Women, Peace and Security agenda and Australian leadership in the world
What is the ‘Women, Peace and Security agenda’ and why is it relevant now for Australia? During 2013–14, Australia is a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and, with a growing foreign military, peacebuilding and aid presence around the world, the country must play a role in preventing conflict, in protecting women and girls from violence before, during and after conflict, and in encouraging the participation of women in th…
Diplomatic divergence in the Antipodes
This article compares the constitutive relationship between foreign policy and globalisation in Australia and New Zealand. Drawing upon insights from constructivist international relations theory we argue that foreign policy instantiates a state's social identity, its self-understanding of its role and moral purpose by projecting a distinctive image onto the global stage. We explore the differences and the similarities between Australia and New Z…
The Political Economy of Violence Against Women
What has poverty or wealth got to do with persistent and egregious violence against women globally? Violence against women includes rape and sexual abuse, forced trafficking, intimate partner violence, female genital mutilation, maternal death, femicide, dowry deaths, honour killings, female infanticide, sexual harassment and forced and early marriage

How women’s silence secures the peace
Most studies of the gendered impact of conflict focus on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) atrocities committed in high-intensity conflict environments. In contrast, this article focuses on the patterns of SGBV in Mindanao, Philippines – an environment of protracted low-intensity conflict within a fragile state. We examine the current Mindanao peace process to highlight the disempowerment of survivors of SGBV, due in large part to the repor…

Expanding markets and marketing gender
Despite the unprecedented nature of the transitions in Eastern Europe since 1989, scholars of international political economy have done little to analyse the processes of globalization and social transformation that they represent. Post-socialist countries provide rich sites for advancing our knowledge of the global market process and its social and political impacts. This article focuses on the gender aspects of globalization. It argues that the…

Global accountability and transnational networks
Decisions that affect the life chances and wellbeing of citizens are increasingly being made in international settings that are only indirectly connected to the democratic institutions where those citizens have a voice.

Violence against women is a major problem in all countries, affecting women in every socio-economic group and at every life stage. Nowhere in the world do women share equal social and economic rights with men or the same access as men to productive resources. Economic globalization and development are creating new challenges for women's rights as well as some new opportunities for advancing women's economic independence and gender equality. Yet, …
