Summary:

"This thoroughly revised second edition of the Handbook on Gender in World Politics builds on established areas of research while introducing important new fields of inquiry. Reflecting significant developments in global politics since the first edition, it extends the Handbook's original strengths - its breadth, depth and disciplinary diversity - and continues to showcase leading scholarship on gender in world politics. Featuring leading experts writing from varied perspectives, this Handbook focuses on women as a category of analysis, examining overarching concepts of masculinities, sexualities, LGBT rights and transgender identities. Chapters explore issues of statecraft, abortion rights and human rights, with new contributions discussing the #MeToo movement, the gendered fault lines exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the emerging challenges posed by AI. This Handbook also includes literature reviews and bibliographies, providing readers with a gateway to further their research. This updated and revised second edition of the Handbook on Gender in World Politics is an indispensable reference point for students and scholars of gender studies, international relations and gender in world politics. It will also greatly benefit practitioners and policymakers working in gender equality looking to pave the way for new regulations"-- Provided by publisher.
