Anti-democratic maneuvers and state feminism in Jordan
Introduction to the roundtable
From “Lab Rats” to “Mad Scientists”
Simulations are increasingly prominent in classrooms, and research shows that such activities provide an array of benefits. In general, simulations tend to situate students as “lab rats” (Asal 2005) who get to discuss the experiment. We call for bringing students into a simulation not as lab rats but instead as “mad scientists.” We specifically propose using a simulation’s debriefing step as an opportunity for students to imagine how they might r…
Dimensions of Transnational Feminism
The importance and impact of feminist mobilization across borders is well documented, but the impact of autonomy as an aspect of such organizing has not been explored in the transnational context. We argue that to understand the impact of transnational feminist mobilization, at least two distinct types of feminist mobilization require further conceptual development and empirical exploration in the transnational context, namely, autonomous as cont…
We’ve got this policy, now what?’ The security politics of implementing the Family Protection Law in Jordan
In this article, I bring together scholarship from feminist international relations and comparative gender politics to investigate how and why Jordan has implemented its policy addressing domestic violence, the 2008 Family Protection Law. Through a qualitative case study, I find that implementation is partial. Aspects of the policy that elevate Jordan’s status in the international arena and sustain domestic male privilege are implemented. Attempt…
Introduction
The articles in this Special Issue draw on feminist IR literature and research within Middle East women’s studies – which has its own association and journal – and seek to expand it by contributing research from scholars that center the Middle East region and issues in their gender and IR work. Across the social sciences, MENA feminist scholars have long contributed important analyses of the state, nationalism, revolution, family law, social poli…
A revolution of the mind
Feminist waves, global activism, and gender violence regimes
Global waves of activism are powerful social forces shaping - and shaped by- policy and politics worldwide. Such waves are constituted not by a single movement or campaign but rather comprise national, local and transnational organizations and networks of activists. We lack the conceptual underpinnings necessary to fully capture the impact of such a diffuse and complex phenomenon. This prevents scholars from fully grasping the ways that waves sha…
Domestic workers from margin to center
(***Special Edition Gendered Pandemic)In India, domestic workers' movements advocated for their own and other workers’ rights both before and during the pandemic. Over the course of the pandemic, however, the political landscape and degree of disunity among workers changed. Despite dwindling resources and a hostile political environment that offered paltry prospects for success, domestic workers persisted in protesting for improved conditions. We…
New Dimensions of Global Feminist Influence
Feminist mobilization, crucial for advancing women's human rights, has increased in all world regions since 1975. However, we do not know enough about the global impact of this mobilization because we lack adequate databases to explore the ways that feminist mobilization interacts with other factors that enhance and limit women's rights, such as democracy, intergovernmental processes, and transnational, regional organizing. Our ability to explore…
Antidemocratic and Exclusionary Practices
The global coronavirus pandemic has reified divisions, inequity, and injustices rooted in systems of domination such as racism, sexism, neoliberal capitalism, and ableism. Feminist scholars have theorized these interlocking systems of domination as the “continuum of violence.” Building on this scholarship, we conceptualize the U.S. response to and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic as reflective of the continuum of violence. We argue that …
Protecting women, protecting the state
Contrary to our understanding of when states act on women’s rights, Jordan adopted a policy on violence against women at the same time as it faced a number of external and internal security threats. In this article, I query the relationship between militarism and the gender policymaking process in Jordan to make sense of this puzzle. I specifically consider the ways in which a feminist conceptualization of militarism offers a more fruitful unders…
Triggers for policy change
The Fukushima meltdown in Tohoku, Japan, served as catalyst for some nations, including Germany, Belgium and Italy, to alter nuclear policies but had no impact on the approaches of a number of others such as Vietnam, China and Russia. Why, despite facing the same focusing event, did private- and state-owned utilities in some countries alter their nuclear energy policies while others kept the status quo. Adopting a mixed-methods approach to unders…
Rethinking Everyday Militarism on Campus
This article uses militarism as a lens through which to examine a fatal shooting that occurred on the campus of Purdue University in January 2014. Although each author experienced the violence differently, as they discuss in their respective sections, they collectively describe a campus enveloped in militarism. And while this militarism did not directly cause the shooting, they suggest that violence is normalized (and even celebrated) on college …
