Abstract

"The Handbook on Gender and Security presents a comprehensive overview of the connections between gender and (in)security in international relations. Authors from various disciplines showcase their innovative research, illustrating how past and recent developments have shaped our understandings of this relationship. Contributors adopt novel theoretical approaches and empirical methods to explore the effects and dynamics of security threats. They highlight the significant diversity in definitions of both gender and security, introducing refined ways of understanding the connection between the two, focusing on topics including war, violence, climate change, pandemics, and criminal networks, as well as feminist action. The Handbook identifies fruitful avenues for future research in the field, surveying gender-related security policy at the international, national and regional levels. The Handbook on Gender and Security is an essential resource for students and scholars of International Relations, Security Studies, and Gender Politics. It is also a vital read for policy-makers seeking to understand the significant impact of gender on experiences of and vulnerabilities to security threats"-- Provided by publisher
