When the United Nations in the 1970s adopted gender equality as one of its causes, feminist movements were energized worldwide and hopes were high for ending gender discrimination and women's subordination around the globe. Forty years later, inequality is still pervasive, yet considerations of gender have entered the mainstream of policy-making to a degree previously unimagined. With the formation of UN Women international gender equality policies have come to a crossroads that invites reflection on the current status of feminist strategies in international governance. What strategies have worked and how? What directions should feminists take in the new political context? The proposed book takes the formation of UN Women as an opportunity to reflect on these issues, providing a broad overview on diverse feminist strategies in international governance. The contributors to this volume provide a survey of the existing gender machineries on the international level, explore the way in which feminist movements have approached international organizations and the way IOs have responded, and examine the laws and norms that have been produced and their effects in local contexts globally. Offering an accessible guide to the engendering of international governance and examining the challenges for international feminist politics in the future, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international organizations, gender politics and global governance.
