Fifth edition of Global Gender Politics by ESS author Anne Sisson Runyan

Runyan, A.S. (Forthcoming 2019). Global gender politics. New York, NY: Routledge.

Global Gender Politics analyzes the gendered divisions of power, labor, and resources that contribute to the global crises of representation, violence, and sustainability. The author emphasizes how hard-won attention to gender and other related inequalities in world affairs is simultaneously being jeopardized by new and old authoritarianisms and depoliticized through reducing gender to a binary and a problem-solving tool in global governance. The author examines gendered insecurities produced by the pursuit of international security and gendered injustices in the global political economy and sees promise in transnational struggles for global justice.

In this new re-titled edition of a foundational contribution to the field of feminist International Relations, Anne Sisson Runyan continues to examine the challenges of placing inequalities and resisting injustices at the center of global politics scholarship and practice through intersectional and transnational feminist lenses.
