This volume offers a nuanced understanding of female agency in
political violence by reviewing and analyzing the political
construction of motherhood as a form of social agency against
political violence committed by both state and non-state actors in
different parts of the world. While the international relations
discipline has traditionally viewed the relationship between women
and violent actors as an exploitative one, this book demonstrates
that taking maternal bodies seriously creates important
intellectual space to examine the types and kinds of violence the
discipline of IR takes seriously and the types and kinds of
resistance practiced by mothers but often overlooked (at least by
male/mainstream IR). Focusing on motherhood as an agency of change,
this volume will appeal to scholars in the field of gender and
international security, think tanks working on political and
security affairs, social activists, policymakers, an interested
public audience, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students
undertaking study or research associated with gender and political
violence.
This book discusses the role of women in jihadi organizations. It
explores the critical puzzle of why, despite the traditional
restrictive views of Islamic jurisprudence on women's social
activities, the level of women's incorporation into some jihadi
organizations is growing rapidly both in numbers and roles around
the world. The author argues that the increasing incorporation of
women and their diversity of roles reflect a strategic logic
-jihadi groups integrate women to enhance organizational success.
To explain the structural metamorphosis of jihadi organizations and
to provide insight into the strategic logic of women in jihadi
groups, the book develops a new continuum typology, dividing jihadi
groups into operation-based and state-building jihadi
organizations. The book uses multiple methods, including empirical
fieldwork and the conceptual framework of fragile states to explain
the expanding role of women within organizations such as ISIS.
Addressing a much-overlooked gap in contemporary studies of women's
association with militant jihadi organizations, this book will be
of interest to scholars in the field of gender and international
security, think tanks working on the Middle East security affairs,
activists, policy-makers, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate
students undertaking study or research associated with gender and
militant non-state actors.
The fading of the post-WWII order called for Turkey to take on a
new role in this new multi-centered and multipolar era with new
players emerging from different regions across the globe. The new
enterprising and humanitarian foreign policy is an effort to locate
Turkey better in the 21st global politics. While the literature on
principles of Turkish foreign policy is abundant, the actual
mechanisms by which these principles are implemented in practice
are still ambiguous to most scholars and foreign policy
practitioners especially within the country's newly developed
Turkish foreign policy framework. This edited volume directs to
shed light on this little-explored aspect of Turkish foreign
policy. By critically analyzing several cases from different
geographical locations, this volume explains why Turkey developed a
new foreign policy framework, and by which mechanisms this new
foreign policy framework has been implemented around the world.
This volume also critically explores how the new Turkish foreign
policy framework customizes its tools and capacities in various
international regions around the world.
