Hillary Rodham Clinton was the first Secretary of State to declare
the subjugation of women worldwide a serious threat to U.S.
national security. Known as the Hillary Doctrine, her stance was
the impetus behind the 2010 Quadrennial Diplomatic and Development
Review of U.S. foreign policy, formally committing America to the
proposition that the empowerment of women is a stabilizing force
for domestic and international peace. Blending history, fieldwork,
theory, and policy analysis while incorporating perspectives from
officials and activists on the front lines of implementation, this
book is the first to thoroughly investigate the Hillary Doctrine in
principle and practice. Does the insecurity of women make nations
less secure? How has the doctrine changed the foreign policy of the
United States and altered its relationship with other countries
such as China and Saudi Arabia? With studies focusing on Guatemala,
Afghanistan, and Yemen, this invaluable policy text closes the gap
between rhetoric and reality, confronting head-on what the future
of fighting such an entrenched enemy entails. The research reports
directly on the work being done by U.S. government agencies,
including the Office of Global Women's Issues, established by
Clinton during her tenure at the State Department, and explores the
complexity and pitfalls of attempting to improve the lives of women
while safeguarding the national interest.
