商品描述
In recent years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has faced mounting resistance from regressive political forces seeking to undermine its hard-won normative gains. This Open Access book offers a timely and rigorous examination of this global backlash, providing both theoretical innovation and empirical depth.
Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, the volume introduces a novel analytical framework that weaves together the concepts of backlash, counter-practices, and counter-discourses. It pioneers a deeper conceptual understanding of backlash--an often under-theorized phenomenon in feminist scholarship--and explores how resistance to gender norms is mobilized, manifested, and sustained across diverse contexts.
Through richly detailed case studies from around the world, the book reveals how backlash operates at multiple levels, from subtle discursive shifts to overt political maneuvers. It interrogates how these dynamics stall, reshape, or reverse the WPS agenda, exposing the fragility of normative progress in international peace and security governance.
Essential reading for scholars, peacebuilders, and advocates committed to advancing gender justice in global security, this volume not only diagnoses the threats facing the WPS agenda but also underscores the urgent need for sustained scholarly and policy engagement to protect and advance feminist achievements in global security.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
近年來，女性、和平與安全（WPS）議程面臨來自保守政治力量的日益抵制，這些力量試圖削弱其艱苦獲得的規範性成果。本書為開放存取書籍，及時且嚴謹地檢視這一全球反彈現象，提供理論創新和實證深度。
本書匯集了領先的學者和實務工作者，介紹了一個新穎的分析框架，將反彈、反實踐和反話語的概念交織在一起。它開創性地深入理解反彈——這一在女性主義學術中常被低估的現象——並探討性別規範的抵抗如何在不同背景中被動員、表現和維持。
通過來自世界各地的詳細案例研究，本書揭示了反彈如何在多個層面上運作，從微妙的話語轉變到明顯的政治操控。它質疑這些動態如何延遲、重塑或逆轉WPS議程，揭示國際和平與安全治理中規範性進展的脆弱性。
對於致力於推進全球安全中性別正義的學者、和平建設者和倡導者而言，本書不僅診斷了WPS議程面臨的威脅，還強調了持續的學術和政策參與以保護和推進女性主義在全球安全中成就的迫切需求。
