Confronting the patriarchal origins and male-dominated institutions
of international law, over the last several decades serious
thinking about gender and international law has developed into a
flourishing discourse within its host discipline. From the lecture
theatres and conferences of academia to the corridors of
international institutions frequented by non-governmental
organizations, diplomats, and the bureaucrats of international
institutions, gender issues are now placed firmly on the
international-law agenda. Indeed, scholarship on gender and
international law is now an important and dynamic area of critique
that continues to challenge the failures of the political, legal,
and institutional frameworks of international law. As research in
gender and international law continues to flourish, this new
four-volume collection from Routledge's Critical Concepts in Law
series brings together the most influential scholarship to date,
gathering foundational and canonical theoretical work, together
with innovative and cutting-edge applications and interventions. It
provides an understanding of the development of the field of gender
and international law, as well as highlighting areas of
thought-provoking research to stimulate future developments in the
field. The first volume in the collection ('Defining Gender and
International Law') assembles key works to illustrate the
development of the field and provide users with a clear
understanding of the concepts, methods, and theoretical
underpinnings of gender and international law. Volume II ('Doing
Gender and International Law: Actors and Institutions') brings
gender and international law to life as an action-orientated field,
theoretically sophisticated, but focused on and contributing to
changes in how international and national law-makers treat gendered
issues. Volume III ('Key Legal Themes in Gender and International
Law') provides an overview of the different legal themes that have
engaged scholars analysing international law from feminist,
women-centred, or gendered perspectives. The scholarship assembled
in the final volume ('Critical Movements and Emerging Issues in
Gender and International Law') collects work that encourages
critical reflections about gendered analyses of contemporary issues
in international law. It also highlights where increased attention
is needed, or where current approaches by feminist international
legal scholars might require further scrutiny. With a full index,
together with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the
learned editors, which places the collected material in its
historical and intellectual context, Gender and International Law
is an essential work of reference and will be welcomed by
researchers, advanced students, practitioners, and policy-makers.
