Two decades ago, V. Spike Peterson's Gendered States asked what difference gender makes in international relations and the construction of the sovereign state system. This book connects the earlier debates of Peterson's book with the gendered state today, one that exists within a globalized and increasingly securitized world. Bringing together an international group of contributors from the Global South, United States, Europe, and Australia, this volume answers three overarching questions. First, it answers whether the concept of a "gendered state" is generic or if some states are particularly gendered in their identities and interests, and with what implications for the type of citizenship, society, and international security. Second, it looks at the continued theoretical significance of the gendered state for current IR scholarship. And, finally, it explains to what extent postcolonial states are distinctive from metropolitan states with regard to gender. Including scholars from International Relations, Postcolonial Studies, and Development Studies, this volume collectively theorizes the modern state and its intricate relationship to security, identity politics, and gender.

"Revisiting Gendered States asks how gender relations have shaped changes in states over the last quarter century of global transformations, while continuing to normalize multiple inequalities and the insecurities that accompany them-a topic largely ignored by mainstream IR. These authors provide innovative and illuminating analyses and empirical research revealing the immense diversity in how states remain deeply gendered. They also point to effective strategies to help move forward resistance to such conditions. Upper level undergraduates, graduate students and scholars in many disciplines will forever think differently about the constitution, practices and meanings of states after reading these essays."
--Sandra Harding, author of Objectivity and Diversity
