Gendered Logics of World Politics: Crisis, Security, and Global Governance

Abstract

This panel discusses the gendered logic of world politics, international relations and crisis preparedness. Two papers address the theme of feminist foreign policy. The first of these addresses the crisis of the liberal international order and how the feminist foreign policy discourse reiterates the gendered breakdown of the LIO but is also increasingly presented as a means to fix the problems underpinning this crisis. The second explores how queer approaches can and must be incorporated in FFP and examines the extent to which FFP enables the deconstruction of binary gender constructions in i/International relations and foreign policy. The third paper explores the (re)production of gendered and racialised knowledge systems in everyday cultural foreign policy, focusing on the German cultural diplomacy in postcolonial Delhi between 1955 and 1999. The fourth paper addresses the gendered aspects of the secret back-channel negotiations that feature frequently in peace negotiations through the cases of Burundi, Colombia and Northern Ireland. The fifth paper discusses the recent discourse and efforts around “preparednes” and to which extent they are inclusive through the case of Sweden.
