An interdisciplinary, multifaceted look at feminist engagements
with governance across the global North and global South Governance
Feminism: Notes from the Field brings together nineteen chapters
from leading feminist scholars and activists to critically describe
and assess contemporary feminist engagements with state and
state-like power. Gathering examples from North America, South
America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, it complements and
expands on the companion volume Governance Feminism: An
Introduction. Its chapters argue that governance feminism (GF) is
institutionally diverse and globally distributed-emerging from
traditional sites of state power as well as from various forms of
governance and operating at the grassroots level, in the private
sector, in civil society, and in international relations. The book
begins by confronting the key role that crime and punishment play
in GFeminist projects. Here, contributors explore the ideological
and political conditions under which this branch of GF became so
robust and rethink the carceral turn. Other chapters speak to
another face of GFeminism: feminists finding, in mundane and
seemingly unspectacular bureaucratic tools, leverage to bring about
change in policy and governance practices. Several contributions
highlight the political, strategic, and ethical challenges that
feminists and LGBT activists must negotiate to play on the
governmental field. The book concludes with a focus on feminist
interventions in postcolonial legal and political orders, looking
at new policy spaces opened up by conflict, postconflict, and
occupation. Providing a clear, cross-cutting, critical lens through
which to map developments in feminist governance around the world,
Governance Feminism: Notes from the Field makes sense of the costs
and benefits of current feminist realities to reimagine feminist
futures. Contributors: Libby Adler, Northeastern U; Aziza Ahmed,
