Two decades ago, V. Spike Peterson published a book titled Gendered
States in which she asked, what difference does gender make in
international relations and the construction of the sovereign state
system? In the intervening years, a wealth of feminist scholarship
has responded to her question, but in doing so, has looked past the
nation state to consider the gendered dimensions of issues such as
human rights, nationalist movements, development, and economic
globalization. Moreover, since 2001, feminist international
relations has also focused on international security, forging a new
subfield of feminist security studies that revisits more
traditional IR topics such as war and national security, albeit
from very different perspectives. With a preface by V. Spike
Peterson, this book aims to connect the earlier debates of
Peterson's book with the gendered state today, one that exists
within a globalized and increasingly securitized world. Bringing
together an international group of contributors from the Global
South, United States, Europe, and Australia, this volume will
answer three overarching questions. First, it will answer whether
the concept of a "gendered state" is generic or if some states are
particularly gendered in their identities and interests, and with
what implications for the type of citizenship, society, and
international security. Second, it will look at the continued
theoretical significance of the gendered state for current IR
scholarship. And, finally, it will explain to what extent
postcolonial states are distinctive from metropolitan states with
regard to gender. Including scholars from International Relations,
Postcolonial Studies, and Development Studies, this volume
collectively theorizes the modern state and its intricate
relationship to security, identity politics, and gender.
