Handbook on Gender in World Politics

Edited by Daniela Tepe, Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology, University of Liverpool, UK

‘The second edition of the Handbook on Gender in World Politics, edited by Daniela Tepe, is an essential and timely contribution to global gender politics, feminist international relations, and critical political economy. Having used the first edition extensively in teaching, I welcome this expanded volume, which brings cutting-edge scholarship on intersectionality, decoloniality, global inequality, migration, security, and governance. With its interdisciplinary scope and strong pedagogical value, this volume is an indispensable resource for students and scholars across international relations, gender studies, and global development.’
