“…In recent decades, IR has become more cognisant of the co-constitutive relationship between gender, justice and statebuilding. Feminist IR scholars have shown that many "women-friendly states" have crafted their foreign policies with notions of gender equality and empowerment through deliberate policies to include more women in peace and statebuilding (Aggestam & Bergman-Rosamond, 2021). Others have shown that while combatant women in wartime are able to exercise agency which under "normal circumstances" they could not, in the aftermath of the wars they emerge not only as politicised and mobilised activists but also as persons who previously held positions of leadership and responsibility, representing a key but often neglected source of statebuilding capital (Gilmartin, 2020).…”

This volume bears the keen sight of its editors and the exertion of scholars from and of Kosovo to impact the uneven space of knowledge production about this social and political space. It is both a collection and a proposal for the contours of ongoing inter-generational and inter-disciplinary conversations giving shape to future critical, feminist and gendered analyses of state-building.'Prof. Dr. Nita Luci, Ambassador of Kosovo to Norway 'Feminist Encounters in Statebuilding, as its editors rightly argue, does much more than fill an obvious gap in the literature on statebuilding, which has thus far paid little attention to gender, even less so to feminist perspectives. The edited volume goes much further: thanks to the feminist lens, this collection of essays opens new research agendas and novel ways to think of statebuilding, far beyond the usual foci on institution-building and the rule of law. Memory, activism, justice, carethese are the themes that highlight both women's contributions to the statebuilding process and the silences that make them invisible. This is a book that should be a must read for all those interested in liberal interventionism as the defining political project of our times.'

Feminist Peace Research in Europe: A Snapshot

Feminist IR in Europe

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter explores the long trajectory of European feminists’ contributions to peace research. Specifically, the coalescing of knowledge via specific Centers of Excellence has supported the recent development of feminist peace research (FPR) in Europe. FPR has also been influenced by the global normative framework of the Women, Peace and Security agenda (WPS), which relies on research conducted outside of Europe. While the diversity of WPS informed research evidences a thriving FPR field in Europe, it also reveals the limitations of what constitutes ‘Europe.’ Ultimately, the chapter shows how FPR remains exclusionary, with implications for knowledge production hierarchies.

A New Gender Equality Contract for Europe

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sweden was the first European Union (EU) member to adopt a feminist foreign policy (FFP) in 2014, inspiring other members to adopt FFPs. This feminist turn can be juxtaposed against the EU’s broader external approach towards gender equality. In most FFPs, we identify broad (neo)liberal feminist principles rather than a thoroughgoing and meaningful set of transformative and radical objectives. Nonetheless, FFP can provide a productive space for deliberations on how to transform global politics and shed light on what an EU-wide FFP could look like. We locate our discussion within FFP research and propose that an EU-wide FFP could be based on authenticity, accountability and ambition (Bergman Rosamond, A., Duncanson, C., & Gentry, C. (2022, July 25). Opinion paper: Scotland the brave? An authentic, ambitious and accountable feminist foreign policy. The Scottish Council on Global Affairs, Retrieved from https://scga.scot/2022/07/25/opinion-paper-feminist-foreign-policy/). While recognising that the adoption of an EU FFP is an ambition unlikely to become a reality anytime soon, it can still provide a discursive space for dialogue, and, as such be a symbolic progressive glue. We complement our theorisation with a set of policy recommendations that the EU could consider prior to adopting a FFP platform.
