About this deal

So when I say that one thing that doing this latest digging has led me to conclude is that patriarchy is remarkably adaptable, I do not want to imply that it’s the same old, same old. Quite the contrary. Making patriarchy sustainable has, I think, taken a lot of thinking and maneuvering by those who have a vested interest in privileging particular forms of masculinity to appear modern and even cutting edge while simultaneously keeping most women in their subordinate places. They have not used only intimidation and outright coercion—though certainly some of those who feel endangered by challenges to patriarchy have wielded both. They have also used updated language ( our sons and daughters in uniform), the arts of tokenism (two women in a cabinet of twenty), and the practices of cooptation (consumers offered low-cost clothes so they will lose interest in Bangladeshi factory women’s working conditions). To investigate how any patriarchal system’s beneficiaries try to sustain that system of gendered meanings and gendered practices requires not smug world-weariness. It calls for renewed energy, refueled collaborations. Oh, and a readiness to be surprised. As hard as this will be, it will take all of this imagining-and more-if you are going to make reliable sense of international politics. Stretching your imagination, though, will not be enough. Making feminist sense of international politics requires that you exercise genuine curiosity about each of these women's lives-and the lives of women you have yet to think about. And that curiosity will have to fuel energetic detective work, careful digging into the complex experiences and ideas of domestic workers, hotel chambermaids, women's rights activists, women diplomats, women married to diplomats, women who are the mistresses of male elites, women sewing-machine operators, women who have become sex workers, women soldiers, women forced to become refugees, and women working on agribusiness plantations.

For me, that has been one of the genuine joys of being part of this collaborative, transnational feminist exploratory journey. Many more people, certainly a lot more women, are now in the conversation. They are adding their own stories, experiences, puzzles, and findings to that conversation.

That is one of the core lessons of feminist international investigation.

In Maneuvers; the International Politics of Militarizing Women's Lives, Enloe expands on her themes from Does Khaki Become You. She emphasizes the different experiences of women located in varied ethnic, national, class, and occupational contexts and how they are tailored to the needs of militarism, therefore embedding themselves in policy. In The American Political Science Review Mary Fainsod Katzenstein writes, "Those already among Enloe's wide readership will know some of this text's central arguments, but Maneuvers offers a trove of new insights. A thesis even more powerfully developed here than in Enloe's earlier writings is the title of the book—how policymakers maneuver to make strategic choices." Katzenstein later states, " Maneuvers has more than a functionalist lesson; by emphasizing policy choices and variability across time and national context, Enloe shows that militaries are not governed by primeval identities." [29] Honors and recognition [ edit ] That is, making useful sense—feminist sense—of international politics requires us to follow diverse women to places that are usually dismissed by conventional foreign affairs experts as merely private, domestic, local, or trivial. As we will discover, however, a disco can become an arena for international politics. So can someone else’s kitchen or your own closet. The Arms Trade Treaty's gendered politics had taken years to create, but in April 2013 those gendered politics had just begun. To become operational, the ATT would have to be ratified by individual governments. In each country there would be multiple bases for support and for rejection of the treaty. Who in each country would balk at making "gender-based violence" a binding criterion? Who would argue that its I began this book thinking about Pocahontas and ended it mulling over the life of Carmen Miranda. Pocahontas is buried in World’s End cemetery, England. Carmen Miranda has a museum dedicated to her in Rio. Neither is the usual starting point for thoughts about contemporary international politics, but each woman made me think in new ways about just how international politics works.
