Klimatkris, högerpopulism, systematiskt våld och ojämlika livsvillkor världen över. Feministiska perspektiv på global politik visar att feministisk forskning ger oss verktyg för att analysera dessa brännande politiska problem. När vi ställer frågor om kön och undersöker maktordningar som innefattar sexualitet, klass, ras och nation, ökar kunskapen om hur hierarkier och orättvisor skapas och kan utmanas.Inom ramen för fem teman - klimatpolitik och hållbarhet, institutioner och styrning, ekonomi och arbete, transnationell mobilisering och aktivism samt krig, våld och militarisering - presenteras centrala feministiska teorier genom nedslag i aktuell forskning. Dessutom ingår ett kapitel som ger vägledning i att genomföra egna studier av global politik. Boken riktar sig till studenter i ämnen som genusvetenskap, statsvetenskap och internationella relationer och alla andra som är intresserade av globala frågor.

This book turns critical feminist scrutiny on national climate policies in India and examines what transition might really mean for marginalized groups in the country.A vision of “just transitions” is increasingly being used by activists and groups to ensure that pathways towards sustainable futures are equitable and inclusive. Exploring this concept, this volume provides a feminist study of what it would take to ensure just transitions in India where gender, in relation to its interesting dimensions of power, is at the centre of analysis. With case studies on climate mitigation and adaptation from different parts of India, the book brings together academics, practitioners and policymakers who provide commentary on sectors including agriculture, forestry and renewables. Overall, the book has relevance far beyond India’s borders, as India’s attempt to deal with its diverse population makes it a key litmus test for countries seeking to transition against a backdrop of inequality both in the Global North and South.This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate policy, gender studies, sustainable development and development studies more broadly.

A major challenge in studies of environmental governance is dealing with the diversity of the people involved at multiple levels – villagers, development agents, policy-makers, private resource users and others – and taking seriously their aspirations, conflicts and collaborations. This book examines this challenge in two very disparate parts of our world, exploring what gender-equality, resource management and development mean in real terms for its inhabitants as well as for our environmental futures.Based on participatory research and in-depth fieldwork, Arora-Jonsson studies struggles for local forest management, the making of women’s groups within them and how the women’s groups became a threat to mainstream institutions. Insights from India, consistently ranked as one of the most gender-biased countries, are compared with similar situations in the ostensibly gender-equal Sweden. Arora-Jonsson also analyzes how dominant ideas about the environment, development and gender equality shape the spaces in which women and men take action through global discourses and grassroots activism.Questioning the conventional belief that development brings about greater gender equality and more efficient environmental management, this volume scrutinizes how environmental imaginations are key to crafting gender relations. It shows gender to be at the heart of environmental negotiations while at the same time making a case for environmental sensibilities as integral to gender relations. At the confluence of development, environmental and gender studies, the book contributes to a much-needed dialogue between these fields, proposing new futures in environmental management.
