The global political arena is (again) in a time of crisis.
Different sources pay attention to different crises: the Global
Financial Crisis, the Debt Crisis, the Crisis of ISIL/Daesh in Iraq
and Syria, the Crisis of Israel and Palestine, and the Iran Nuclear
Crisis have gotten significant attention in media coverage of
global politics. But those are not the only crises that scholars
and practitioners discuss. Environmentalists warn of ecological
crisis, health scholars warn of disease crises, cyber-security
experts suggest a coming information crisis, and migration experts
warn of population crises. Feminist work on global politics has
addressed many of these crises - historical and contemporary - in
crisis language and without it, as well as a number of the
non-crises that looking for women and gender in the international
arena draws into focus. That work, however, had generally not
explicitly theorized the conceptualization of crisis, its gendered
dimensions, and/or gender-based crises as such. Across this book,
feminist conversations about crisis in global politics suggests
that a single feminist approach to, definition of, or politics of
crisis is impossible to find. That same variety of work, though,
makes a strong case that paying attention to crises in the world
and to the manufacture of crisis rhetoric alongside events in
global politics is not only generally important but an important
place for feminist scholarship, feminist political activism, and
direct attention. This book was previously published as a special
issue of the International Feminist Journal of Politics.
