International law is brought into existence by actors from a variety of perspectives--international lawyers, state representatives, bureaucrats, and organizations--and as such, international law is riddled with contradictions. It is violent and violating, reducing complex lives and histories to "good" (lawful) and "bad" (criminal) bodies subject to protection, praise, or punishment. And yet it has potential to be a means of hope, resistance, and justice for victims, survivors, and oppressed communities.In Queering Governance and International Law, Caitlin Biddolph examines the international legal space through queer, feminist, and postcolonial lenses. In doing so, she queers governance and international law, exposing the gendered and sexualized meanings behind legal concepts like violence, and critiquing legal status quos so that more transformative, liberatory, and queerer paths to justice might be dreamt and manifested within and beyond international law. Using as a case study the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Biddolph traces the cis-heteronormative underpinnings of legal violence, and identifies ways that violence can be resisted and international law subverted to dismantle the very gendered and racial hierarchies it has reinforced.

In this thoroughly revised second edition, expert researchers from a range of disciplines interrogate the relationship between gender and violence. Divided into three thematic sections covering concepts, representations and contexts, this Handbook connects micro-level interpersonal violence to macro-level structural forms.Including both new and updated chapters, the contributors analyse varied demonstrations of gender violence as well as the inequalities exacerbated by economic influences, climate change and settler colonialism. They assess intersectionality, race and sexualities across diverse economic and juridical backgrounds, elaborating on the tools used in discussions of gendered oppression. The Handbook incorporates a representational focus on the display of gender violence in popular culture, films, news media and photography. Contributors provide transnational perspectives, exploring the connection of gender and violence to various contemporary issues including the military, post-conflict settings, social movements and criminal justice.Multidisciplinary in scope, this Handbook is a vital resource for scholars and students of gender studies, development studies, international relations, sociology and human rights. It is also of interest to researchers new to the area for its in-depth overview of the topic.
