Review Quotes:
"We need this fresh edition of Global Gender Politics now more than ever.
Precisely today, when the autocratic and militarizing people in power imagine they can brush aside feminist political investigators, we need to push back: this new edition will enable us each to hone our feminist curiosities and sharpen our feminist exploratory skills.
Equipped with both, we will be able to make clear sense of this world and take effective action in it."
Cynthia Enloe, author of Twelve Feminist Lessons of War
"Global Gender Politics is a contemporary tour de force. It is accessible, powerful, forceful and an absolutely necessary book for our times. Each chapter immediately captures the reader's attention with prescient questions - all of which are answered informatively and with great clarity. Gender, in all its mysterious, malevolent and metamorphosing forms, is laid bare for all to apprehend. Describing gender as a "meta-lens," the 6th edition of this foundational text offers compelling analyses of "gender work" in global politics. It not only provides crucial analytical tools for students and all learners, it leaves us with a measure of hope to hold on to in these overly violent times."
Marysia Zakewski, Professor of International Relations, Cardiff University
"This sixth edition of _Global Gender Politics_ offers a sharp and timely account of how gendered power relations shape contemporary global politics. It shows how inequalities in authority, security, and economic life are not peripheral concerns but central drivers of global crises - from conflict and democratic backsliding to widening social and environmental instability.
The text is a good balance of theory and empirics, providing a necessary introduction to feminist approaches in international relations while engaging contemporaneous developments. This pedagogically innovative text with its discussion questions and accompanying online resources, as well sample quiz questions, is essential support for teachers and students alike.
This text will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, international relations, and gender studies, especially."
Professor Toni Haastrup, FAcSS, SFHEA, Chair in Global Politics, University of Manchester
