Anne Sisson Runyan – författare

In the new edition of this bestselling text and scholarly reference, new and revised chapters reflect shifts in the gendered, classed, racialized and sexualized nature of ongoing global restructurings.Through fresh intersectional feminist analyses of widening health, climate, care, inequality, democracy and knowledge crises since the Great Financial Crisis and the deepening of many forms of capitalism, this volume stresses the complexities of multiple restructurings which demand new ways to think across sightings, sites and resistances. Some of each of these elements are in every chapter, which take the reader to different sightings, such as of neoliberalizations, neoauthoritarianizations, multipolarizations, financializations and migrations. They also bring into view different geographic sites, such as Hong Kong, sub-Saharan and North Africa, Canada, Mexico, Bangladesh and the trade blocs of the European Union and the BRICs, and different nongeographic sites such as productive and reproductive economies and the virtual economy of finance and digitalization. They further highlight different forms of women’s and feminist resistance, such as local and national labor organizing, regional and multipolar organizing, reimagining infrastructure design and broadening noncapitalist community and solidarity economies. Many chapters critique problematic constructions of women’s empowerment, and all challenge the machinations of neoliberal capital that undermine most women, marginalized peoples and the planet.Providing a coherent and challenging approach to contemporary gendered globalization, better understood as global restructurings, since the last edition over a decade ago, Gender and Global Restructurings will be of interest to students and scholars of international political economy, international relations, economics, development and gender studies.

Accessible and student-friendly, 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 andresisting injustices at the center of global politics scholarship and practice through intersectional and transnational feminist lenses. This more streamlined approach includes more illustrations and discussions have been updated to refl ect current issues. To provide more support to instructors and readers, Global Gender Politics is accompanied by an e-resource, which includes web resources, suggested topics for discussion, and suggested research activities also found in the book.

Global Gender Politics analyzes the gender(ed) divisions of power, violence, labor, and resources that contribute to global crises of representation, insecurity, and sustainability.This new edition of a foundational contribution to the field of Feminist International Relations—co‑authored with a new generation of feminist global politics scholars—continues to examine long‑standing and new challenges for placing inequalities and resisting injustices at the center of global politics scholarship and practice through intersectional and transnational feminist lenses that challenge the power of gender. Accessible and student‑friendly, this book emphasizes how hard‑won attention to reducing gender and other inequalities to stem global crises is now jeopardized by the consolidation of new and old anti‑equality authoritarianisms, arising from the deprivations of neoliberal capitalism, undermining human and planetary welfare and creating conditions and desires for reassertions of patriarchal rule and relations. In the context of this shift in world order and the centrality of gender to that shift, analyses of gendered global governance, global security, and global political economy are updated and expanded, finding that gender equality norms are being rolled back, gendered insecurities are being heightened by increased war and militarization (including the rise of cyberviolence), and gendered injustices, laid bare by the COVID pandemic, are growing with the rise of oligarchic corporate power, the increased informalization of labor and extraction of resources, and the further breakdowns in social reproduction and denials of reproductive justice. But this book also finds promise in ongoing feminist struggles for democracy and social justice, providing new case studies of transnational and translocal feminist organizing for democratization, nonviolence, and sustainable human and planetary life.To provide support to instructors and readers, this edition includes new questions for discussion, suggested readings, illustrative boxes, and an accompanying e‑resource containing web resources, sample quizzes, and a recorded conversation among the co‑authors.Global Gender Politics will be of great use to students of Politics, International Relations, Gender Studies, and those working on Global Governance, Security, Political Economy, and Justice. It will also be of interest to scholars who have followed the previous editions.

Since the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) tensions concerning immigration trends and policies, which continued to escalate at the turn of the millennium resulted in revised national security policies in Mexico, Canada, and the United States. These tensions have catalyzed the three governments to rethink their political and economic agendas. While national feminist scholarship in and on these respective countries continue to predominate, since NAFTA, there has been increasing feminist inquiry in a North American regional frame. Less has been done to understand challenges of the hegemonies of nation, region, and empire in this context and to adequately understand the meaning of (im)mobility in people's lives as well as the (im)mobilities of social theories and movements like feminism. Drawing from current feminist scholarship on intimacy and political economy and using three main frameworks: Fortressing Writs/Exclusionary Rights, Mobile Bodies/Immobile Citizenships, and Bordered/Borderland Identities, a handpicked group of established and rising feminist scholars methodically examine how the production of feminist knowledge has occurred in this region. The economic, racial, gender and sexual normativities that have emerged and/or been reconstituted in neoliberal and securitized North America further reveal the depth of regional and global restructuring.
