A considerable literature has been devoted to the study of Islamic activism. By contrast, Nadje Al-Ali’s book explores the anthropological and political significance of secular-oriented activism by focusing on the women’s movement in Egypt. In so doing, it challenges stereotypical images of Arab women as passive victims and demonstrates how they fight for their rights and confront conservative forces. Al-Ali’s book also takes issue with prevailing constructions of ‘the West’ and its perceived dichotomous relation to ‘the East’. The argument is constructed around interviews which afford fascinating insights into the history of the women’s movement in Egypt, notions about secularism and how Islamist constituencies have impacted on women’s activism generally. The balance between the empirical and conceptual material is adeptly handled. The author frames her work in the context of current theoretical debates in Middle Eastern and post-colonial scholarship: while some of the ideas are complex, her lucid style means they are always comprehensible; the book will therefore appeal to students, as well as to scholars in the field.enCambridge University Press978051103480086802050Secularism, Gender and the State in the Middle East: The Egyptian Women's MovementAl-Ali, Nadje2000BookNAhttp://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511489518

In this critical study, Nadje Sadig Al-Ali analyzes the representations of women in the works of six Egyptian writers. Her purpose is to determine to what extent these writers exhibit a gender ideology, and to examine the reflection of wider discourses that are linked to the particular depiction of gender. The six authors--Nawal El Saadawi, Alifa Rifaat, Salwa Bakr, Sherif Hetata, Sonallah Ibrahim, and Suleiman Fayyad--also speak for themselves in interviews that deal with their motivation to write, their idea of the role of literature in society, the meaning they attach to their own literary works, and their attitude to the position and roles of women in Egyptian society.enThe American University in Cairo Press978977424328886802050Gender Writing/Writing Gender: The representation of women in a selection of modern Egyptian literatureAl-Ali, Nadje1994BookNA

Nadje al-Ali challenges the myths and misconceptions which have dominated debates about Iraqi women, bringing a much needed gender perspective to bear on a central political issue of our time. She traces the political history of Iraq from post-colonial independence, to the emergence of a women's movement in the 1950s and Saddam Hussein's early policy of state feminism. The book also discusses the increases in social conservatism, domestic violence and prostitution, and shows that, far from being passive victims, Iraqi women have been, and continue to be, key political actors. The impact of Islam on women's lives is analysed in the context of the recent invasion and occupation, and it is argued that US-led calls for liberation may in the long term serve to oppress the women of Iraq further.enZed Books978184277745986802050Iraqi Women: Untold Stories From 1948 to the PresentAl-Ali, Nadje2007-05-01BookNAhttp://doi.org/10.5040/9781350220850

Has U.S military action liberated Iraqi women? What role have women played in the “new Iraq”? How has the occupation impacted upon women? This book addresses these questions and illustrates the big gap between the official rhetoric that put Iraqi women at centre stage and the reality of how women’s rights and women’s lives have been used in the name of competing political agendas. The authors challenge the widespread view that there is something inherent about Muslim, Middle Eastern or Iraqi culture that is responsible for the escalating violence, sectarianism and systematic erosion of women’s rights in Iraq. Rather, this book highlights the responsibility of the U.S.-led occupation in promoting sectarian, ethnic and tribal politics and fueling violence. The authors’ focus on the devastating effects of neo-liberal and neo-conservative notions of “women’s empowerment”. Yet far from being passive victims, Iraqi women continue to negotiate the challenges and find strategies to adapt to and resist the events that are unfolding. Based on interviews with Iraqi women’s rights activists, international policy-makers and NGO workers, the authors document the rich and varied scope of Iraqi women’s involvement in political transition, reconstruction and attempts at shaping “the new Iraq.”enUniversity of California Press978052026581386802050What kind of Liberation?

This article examines the political mobilization of Iraqi women activists in diasporic spaces, including the U.K. the U.S., Jordan as well as women’s activism inside Iraq. My article addresses two main questions: 1) in how far the different political, economic and legal conditions in the UK, US and Jordan shape women’s activities or lack thereof, and 2) the relationships and dynamics between Iraqi women activists from the diaspora and inside Iraq.The article is based on original empirical data obtained through fieldwork in the UK, US and Jordan in 2004 & 2005. Informal interviews and participant observation are the main methods for my ongoing wider project about Iraqi women’s contribution to political transition. The comparative dimension is particularly important since general political climate and culture, as well as historical migration trajectories, gender ideologies and relations vary in the three host countries. I will map out the existing women’s organizations, groups and networks and discuss impediments and obstacles to a greater involvement in political processes. One important dimension is the complex relationship between women who remained inside Iraq and those who returned post-2003 are are active while being based outside.enl’Institut des sciences humaines et sociales du CNRS0997132786802050Iraqi Women in Diasporic Spaces: Political Mobilization, Gender and CitizenshipAl-Ali, Nadje2007Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.4000/remmm.3371

The article explores the role of women and changing gender relations in reconstruction processes in Iraq. It will provide a historical background in terms of changing women’s status and gender ideologies & relations during the regime of Saddam Hussein. I will focus particularly on the impacts of the early developmental-modernist discourses of the state to the impacts of war (Iran-Iraq war 1980-88 & Gulf War 1991) as well as comprehensive economic sanctions (1990-2003). The latter involved wider social changes affected women and gender but also society at large, i.e. impoverishment of well-educated middle-class, wide-scale unemployment and economic crises pushing women back home, and a shift towards more conservative values and morals.
It is against this backdrop that the impact of the latest war (2003), the occupation and reconstruction attempts need to analysed. In addition to the most immediate effects of the current situation (humanitarian crisis, lack of security, lack of mobility, general exclusion form political process), the article will explore more long- term issues with respect to the need to mainstream gender in reconstruction processes. It will also attempt to provide a brief overview of the emerging Iraqi women’s national and transnational women’s initiatives and organisations.https://eprints.soas.ac.uk/4862/1/Women_and_Gender_Relations_in_IraqenTaylor and Francis0143659786802050Gendering Reconstruction: Iraqi Women between Dictatorship, Wars, Sanctions and OccupationAl-Ali, Nadje2005Journal Article/ReviewAOhttp://doi.org/10.1080/01436590500128428

This article explores the aims, activities and challenges of women's movements in the Middle East. It demonstrates the similarities among movements, which are related to both the historical emergence of women's movements, and in particular their close affiliation to nationalist struggles, as well as contemporary circumstances such as ambiguous government policies, repression of civil societies and prevailing authoritarian political cultures. This contribution also looks to the specific factors and conditions that shape women's movements in particular countries differently, thereby highlighting the great degree of heterogeneity among women's organizations in the Middle East. An analysis of the actual goals and activities of women's groups in various countries, such as Jordan, Egypt and Palestine reveals that women activists tend to get mobilized around issues related to modernization and development. Issues such as women's rights to education, work and political participation have traditionally been both the accepted demands of women activists as well as part of the discourses of male modernizers and reformers. However, the more sensitive issues of women's reproductive rights and violence against women, for example, have been taken up by only a few women's organizations in recent years. The relationship of women's organizations to the state is key to the analysis of women's movements in the region. Varying levels of dependence and autonomy can be detected not only in the comparison of one country with another but also within given country contexts.enTaylor and Francis1461674286802050Gender and Civil Society in the Middle EastAl-Ali, Nadje2003-07Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.1080/1461674032000080576

In this article I show how Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) refugees reproduce, contest and construct their ethnic and religious identities. Using `ritual' in a broad sense to refer to everyday routinized activities and practices that characterize family hierarchies and gender relations, as well as more easily identifiable religious rituals, I show that rituals assert belonging to a community and an identity, but are also, in the process of construction and contestation, selectively evoked and ignored. `The Other' constructed through certain rituals is not merely the non-Muslim Bosnian (Serbs and Croats), but also, for refugees, other Bosnian Muslims who stayed behind. Moreover, engagement in secular and religious rituals, and the wider issue of identity constructions cannot be understood fully without exploring the dynamics between refugees and people who have remained in Bosnia. Competing constituencies claiming `Bosnianness' and `Muslimness' can be found across national boundaries and complicate the attempt to construct a community of believers or nationals, or both.enWiley1470226686802050Gender relations, transnational ties and rituals amongst Bosnian refugeesAl-Ali, Nadje2002-07Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.1111/1471-0374.00040

The study of transnationalism has largely bypassed refugees, or in rare cases has focused specifically on their political activities. Proceeding from recent perspectives in international migration studies which suggest that there may be at best only a blurred conceptual distinction between refugees and other migrants, this article subjects two refugee groups - Eritreans and Bosnians in various European countries - to the type of transnational analysis more commonly found among labour migrants. It extends the focus from political activities to show how refugees can become involved in a range of economic, social and cultural transnational activities. At the same time, the paper identifies a range of obstacles which differentially influence the desire and capacity of the study populations to participate in these activities. On the basis of this empirical evidence, we make the case for a fuller incorporation of refugees in the contemporary study of transnationalism. At a more conceptual level, the paper charts the evolution of transnational characteristics among the study populations. The implication, which extends beyond the refugee context alone, is that transnationalism is not a 'state of being', as is sometimes implied by the existing literature, but rather that transnationalism is a dynamic process.enTaylor and Francis1369183X868060502050Refugees and transnationalism: the experience of Bosnians and Eritreans in EuropeAl-Ali, NadjeBlack, RichardKoser, Khalid2001-10-01Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.1080/13691830120090412

The proposed paper will explore the changing role of women and gender in Iraq from the 1950s pre-revolutionary period, throughout 35 years of Ba'th regime, economic sanctions to the current post 2003 period. Against the historic background of both state repression and state feminism, gender relations changed rapidly during the period of economic sanctions (1990-2003) which was marked by a drastic turn towards greater social conservatism. But it is in the current context of occupation and the rising influence of Islamist political parties and militias that gender ideologies and relations are at the centre of political contestations, increasing violence and the instrumentalization of human rights issues. This paper aims to challenge the notion of diversity in the context of Iraqi women as represented in the prevailing political and media discourses which focus on ethnic and religious differences. Historically, as the paper will argue, social class, place of origin and political orientation cut across ethnic and religious boundaries and present the main markers of difference.enRoutledgehttp://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a906490410~db=all?jumptype=alert&alerttype=author,email1353019486802050Iraqi Women and Gender Relations: Redefining DifferenceAl-Ali, Nadje2008-12Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.1080/13530190802525155

Nadje Al-Ali cuestiona los mitos y prejuicios que han dominado los debates sobre las mujeres iraquíes, aportando una necesaria perspectiva de género al enfoque de uno de los temas políticos centrales de nuestro tiempo. Basándose en historias de vida y relatos orales de mujeres iraquíes, investiga la historia de Iraq desde la independencia poscolonial hasta el inicio del movimiento de las mujeres en los cincuenta, la temprana política de feminismo estatal de Saddam Hussein, que luego fue cambiando hacia el conservadurismo social, obligada por la guerra y las sanciones. Sin embargo, el libro también demuestra que, lejos de ser víctimas pasivas, las mujeres iraquíes han sido, y continúan siendo, clave social y sujetos políticos. A partir de la invasión, Al-Ali analiza el impacto de la ocupación y de los movimientos islamistas en la vida de las mujeres y argumenta que los llamados a la liberación que lidera Estados Unidos han provocado un retroceso en la situación de las mujeres iraquíes.enSirpus978849648375086802050Mujeres iraquíes.

The book presents the international laws on the use of force whilst demonstrating the unique insight a feminist analysis offers this central area of international law. The book highlights key conceptual barriers to the enhanced application of the law of the use of force, and develops international feminist method through rigorous engagement with the key writers in the field
The book looks at the key aspects of the UN Charter relevant to the use of force – Article 2(4), Article 51 and Chapter VII powers – as well as engaging with contemporary debates on the possibility of justified force to meet self-determination or humanitarian goals. The text also discusses the arguments in favour of the use of pre-emptive force and reflects on the role feminist legal theories can play in exposing the inconsistencies of contemporary arguments for justified force under the banner of the war on terror. Throughout the text state practice and institutional documentation are analysed, alongside key instances of the use of force.
The book makes a genuine, urgently needed contribution to a central area of international law, demonstrating the capacity of feminist legal theories to enlarge our understanding of key international legal dilemmasenRoutledge97804154928748500868020504000The Law on the Use of Force: A Feminist AnalysisHeathcote, Gina2011-04BookNAhttp://doi.org/10.4324/9780203802618

This article explores an aspect of the micro-politics of the ‘new Iraq’ by examining the understudied topic of the Iraqi-Kurdish women’s movement. Drawing on interviews with women activists in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, we describe and analyze their activities, strategies and objectives in relation to Kurdish nationalism and feminism, focusing on the period since 2003. Rather than conceptualizing nationalism and feminism as either contradictory or compatible frames of reference for these activists, we understand debates among women activists as attempts to ‘narrate’ the Kurdish nation, particularly in response to the realities of the ‘new Iraq’. We contend that nationalism per se is not an obstacle to women’s rights in Iraqi Kurdistan. Rather, it is the failure, until now, of women activists to engage with the disjuncture between nation and state that could limit the achievements of their struggle.enBrill1873985786802050Between Nationalism and Women’s Rights: the Kurdish Women’s Movement in IraqAl-Ali, NadjePratt, Nicola2011Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.1163/187398611X590192

The article examines the development of a women’s movement in Iraq since the invasion in 2003. It describe the types of activities and the strategies of different women activists, as well as highlight the main divisions amongst them. The article also discusses the various ways in which the ongoing occupation and escalating violence in Iraq has shaped women’s activism and the object of their struggles. Communal and sectarian tensions had been fostered by the previous regime as well as by the political opposition in exile prior to 2003, but the systematic destruction of national institutions, such as the army and the policy, by the occupation forces, has led to flare up of the sectarian conflict. The article concludes by evaluating women’s activism in terms of its contributions to conflict on the one hand and national reconciliation on the other.application/pdfhttps://eprints.soas.ac.uk/12660/1/PDF.pdfenPalgrave Macmillan0141778986802050Women organizing and the Conflict in Iraq since 2003Al-Ali, NadjePratt, Nicola2008-05Journal Article/ReviewAOhttp://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.fr.9400384

This paper provides a critical analysis of the United Nations (UN) Security Council's ‘naming and shaming’ provision in operative paragraph 3 of Security Council resolution 1960 (2010), arguing this is a counterproductive development in the contemporary collective security approach to women, peace and security. Resolution 1960, the fifth Security Council resolution on women, peace and security, significantly extends the Council's approach to challenging sexual violence in armed conflict through the development of global indicators and accountability mechanisms. This article offers an explanation of the terminology and context of resolution 1960 with a particular focus on operative paragraph 3. The article then shifts to review the value of the operative paragraph 3 naming and shaming provision. I argue against feminist activism that seeks to develop accountability mechanisms for non-state actors in isolation from strategies to prevent violence and suggest the need to promote, instead, strategies that increase women's participation in the delivery of justice mechanisms locally and globally. Additionally, the effectiveness of any list produced in the context of such naming and shaming will be undermined by the combination of a potential conflict of interests for humanitarian workers and the potential for mislabelling non-state actors, particularly members of armed groups, as responsible for sexual violence in armed conflict without paying appropriate attention to established due process and the rule of law. As such, the Security Council's current shift towards global indicators and accountability mechanisms will be unable to end sexual violence and gender-based human rights abuses by non-state actors in situations on the Council's agenda. I conclude that the impact of resolution 1960 operative paragraph 3 will be minimal: promoting neither women's rights nor peace nor security and with the potential to reduce incentives for armed groups to be active participants in the creation of peace.enOxford University Press175796194000808085008680Naming and Shaming: Human Rights Accountability in Security Council Resolution 1960 (2010) on Women, Peace and SecurityHeathcote, Gina2012-03Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.1093/jhuman/hus003

This article reflects on the ten-year anniversary of “Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security‟ (hereinafter, “Resolution 1325”). The article contextualizes the Security Council’s approach within feminist legal thinking, using Resolution 1325 as a springboard for increased feminist conversations on the recurrent themes of essentialism, victim feminism, and praxis. It is argued that the feminist action in the Security Council should extend these debates. To this end, the article concludes with reflection on the possibility of force to save women, arguing that this fourth axis of feminist debate be taken up with some urgency by feminist scholars and activists.application/pdfhttps://eprints.soas.ac.uk/13161/1/SLR_GH_103-344-1-PB.pdfenNational Law School of India University097352168500868020504000Feminist Politics and the Use of Force: Theorising Feminist Action and Security Council Resolution 1325Heathcote, Gina2011Journal Article/ReviewAO

This article examines the range of arguments articulated to justify the use of force under the ‘War on Terror’. The three key justifications for unilateral force directed against terrorist actors, pre-emptive force, implied authorisation and the use of force to prevent terrorist actors operating from failed states, are demonstrated as analogous to domestic provocation excuses. As such, the article argues the ‘end’ of the ‘War on Terror’ has been in name only as the Obama Administration in the United States continues to develop practice in line with that of its predecessor. The analogy with domestic provocation excuses demonstrates weaknesses of contemporary US practice and of the pre-emptive force justification. Using a feminist understanding of the limitations of provocation defences and of the relationship between social, cultural, political and legal norms, the legacy of the ‘War on Terror’ is demonstrated as an assertion of a limited model of security that ignores the role militaries play in women’s insecurity and which limits women’s participation through the use of sexual stereotypes. The article concludes with a discussion of the range of feminist strategies that might be invoked to challenge the legacy of the ‘War on Terror’.application/pdfhttps://eprints.soas.ac.uk/13162/1/MJIL_Feminist_reflections.pdfenThe University of Melbourne14448602850086804000Feminist Reflections on the 'End' of the War on TerrorHeathcote, Gina2010Journal Article/ReviewAO

The article discusses the gendered implications of recent political developments in the region. It argues that women and gender are key to both revolutionary and counter- revolutionary processes and developments and not marginal to them. It explores the significance of women 19s involvement, the historical context of women 19s political participation and marginalization in political transition. Theoretically, developments in the region point to the centrality of women and gender when it comes to constructing and controlling communities, be they ethnic, religious or political; the significance of the state in reproducing, maintaining and challenging prevailing gender regimes, ideologies, discourses and relations; the instrumentalization of women 19s bodies and sexualities in regulating and controlling citizens and members of communities; the prevalence of gender- based violence; the historically and cross-culturally predominant construction of women as second-class citizens; the relationship between militarization and a militarized masculinity that privileges authoritarianism, social hierarchies and tries to marginalize and control not only women but also non-normative men.application/pdfhttps://eprints.soas.ac.uk/13493/1/MJCC_005_01_Art03_Al_Ali_%283%29.pdfenBrill1873985786802050Gendering the Arab SpringAl-Ali, Nadje2012-03Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.1163/187398612X624346

This paper examines how the UN Security Council has embraced mainstream feminist ideas in a manner that may ultimately be detrimental to women's lives. The paper asks why some elements of feminist debates (victim feminism, formal equality, quotas) have been develop under the 1325 framework while the spectrum of feminist thinking on women's diversity, on self-determination and on structural bias within legal systems has been so difficult to develop into concrete reforms. Ultimately the process of pursuing feminist ideas in the mainstream and into institutional settings is a rejection of specific feminist approaches that are consequently shifted to the peripheries of feminist methods and remain beyond the peripheries of international legal discussions.enhttp://sydney.edu.au/law/scil/cairo/index.shtmlInternational Law and the Periphery8500868020504000The Politics of Natality: From Formal Equality to the Spectrum of Feminist ThinkingHeathcote, GinaConference Paper/Proceeding/AbstractNA

This paper considers the measures developed under Security Council resolution 1960 for the listing, naming, shaming and instigation of targeted sanctions against non-state actors who are known to have committed human rights violations during conflict, particularly sexual violence. The paper evaluations the strength of the Security Council's decision to create both sanctions lists and a 'naming and shaming' procedure via the Office of the Secretary-General. Legal understandings of the purpose of naming and shaming strategies, the importance of local community strategies and the distance between Security Council agendas on women, peace and security and those of women in conflict zones will be considered. The paper concludes that the politics of 'naming and shaming' as well as the targeted sanctions regime add to the 'women as victim' discourse and detract from seeing women as agents of peace within their communities, especially in post-conflict settings.en21st Congress of the International Federation of Women in Legal Career20504000808085008680Achieving Accountability for Human Rights Violations by Non-state Actors: Challenging Sexual Violence and Creating Paths to PeaceHeathcote, GinaConference Paper/Proceeding/AbstractNA

This article explores limitations on the concept of transnationalism, through examination of two empirical case studies of communities characterized by emerging transnational practices. Mirroring recent shifts of attention in studies of transnational migration away from US-based examples of established migrant workers, the article focuses on Bosnian refugees in the UK and The Netherlands, and Eritrean refugees in the UK and Germany. It stresses the importance of historical context, and the interconnection of social, political and institutional factors in producing highly uneven patterns of transnational activities both within and between these two groups.enTaylor and Francis14664356868060505800220The limits to transnationalism: Bosnian and Eritrean refugees in Europe as emerging transnational communitiesAl-Ali, NadjeBlack, RichardKoser, Khalid2001-06Journal Article/ReviewNAhttp://doi.org/10.1080/01419870120049798

from [al’manja] with love revisits Critical Migration Studies with the insights of postcolonial and decolonial approaches and carves out a perspective on power relations that brings together transnational feminism and ‘trans(gender) politics’.
The book discusses what racism and migratism mean in a German and European context, and work out how they shape hegemonic understandings of 'Germany' and 'Europe'. These locations are understood as geopolitical spaces where multiple transnational trans_stories of migration, diaspora, movement, staying and transing meet, resonate and dissonate. It elaborates on the assumption that the equalization of racism and migratism and the homogenizing use of 'culture' and ‘nation’ in the field of Critical Migration Studies render Europeans of Color unthinkable, as abject positions in migration discourses, even within knowledge production on 'migration' with critical intentions.
The approach questions essentialized notions of be_longing, home and community and proposes the conceptualization of trans_diasporing – a power sensitive political perspective that deconstructs categorical gendering and categorical nationalization within a postcolonial framework.enBrandes und Apsel978395558061286802050from [al’manja] with love.

The line between peacekeeping and force is increasingly blurred in the work of the United Nations Security Council and without sufficient review or assessment of the merits of adding force to peacekeeping mandates. The blurred line between peacekeeping and force mandates is apparent in both robust peacekeeping (the authorisation of tactical force within a peacekeeping mission ) and peace enforcement (the escalation of a peacekeeping mission into a ‘Chapter VII force ’ ). While the Security Council’s authorisation of Chapter VII force attracts attention in Western states and media, as does its authorisation of peace enforcement operations missions (‘peace enforcement authorisations’), the Security Council’s increasing development of robust peacekeeping is less often raised within our debates and discussions. In this chapter, I argue that the Security Council would benefit from internal rather than external projections of the rule-of-law in the context of robust peacekeeping, to better account for the risks associated with the deployment of force, including that of international military actors perpetrating sexual violence.enRoutledge97811389590338500868020504000Robust Peacekeeping, Gender and the Protection of CiviliansHeathcote, GinaCharlesworth, HilaryFarrall, Jeremy2016-04-15Book chapterNA

The intervention of military force to resolve a humanitarian crisis, such as the Security Council authorised intervention in Libya in 2011, raises a host of questions regarding the usefulness of military force to secure humanitarian goals. Within the discipline of international law, however, debates have centred on the legality of interventions under international law as a response to humanitarian crises. Considerably less attention has been given to the usefulness of a military intervention in resolving complex emergency situations, the gendered consequences of interventions or the gendered model that humanitarian interventions deploy. In this chapter I analyse the nexus between the gendered effects and gendered practice of humanitarian intervention, identifying a need for collective security strategies that attend to the politics of everyday and the necessity of working in concert to disrupt these gendered dynamics.enOxford University Press9780199300983850086804000Humanitarian Intervention and Gender DynamicsHeathcote, GinaCahn, NaomiHaynes, DinaNi Aolain, FionnualaValji, Nahla2018-08-03Book chapterNA

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0This paper argues that the use of the Security Council to develop feminist and women’s activism on women, peace and security splits between resolutions (1325 and 1889) that seek to build women’s agency and resolutions (1820 and 1888) that focus on combating sexual violence against women in conflict and post-conflict environments. The consequence is a limiting of agency, for some women, to situations where women have been sexually violated. Furthermore, a split between first world feminist actors, who gain agency as gender experts, and third world women, who are present as harmed or requiring protection within the resolutions, reflects larger tensions in Western and global feminisms. The paper further argues that the use of military force to challenge widespread or systematic sexual violence requires feminist debate rather than unquestioned inclusion in Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security.application/pdfhttps://eprints.soas.ac.uk/22061/1/Heathcote_22061.pdfenSOAS School of Law Research Paper No. 06 2010850086804000working_papers_slForce, Feminism and the Security CouncilHeathcote, Gina2010MonographVoR

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0The article discusses sexual violence by ISIS against women in Iraq, particularly Yezidi women, against the historical background of broader sexual and gender-based violence. It intervenes in feminist debates about how to approach and analyse sexual and wider gender-based violence in Iraq specifically and the Middle East more generally. Recognizing the significance of positionality, the article argues against dichotomous positions and for the need to look at both macrostructural configurations of power pertaining to imperialism, neoliberalism and globalization on the one hand, and localized
expressions of patriarchy, religious interpretations and practices and cultural norms on the other hand. Finally, the article reflects on the question of what a transnational feminist solidarity might look like in relation to sexual violence by ISIS.application/pdfhttps://eprints.soas.ac.uk/22128/1/EJWS%20Sexual%20Violence%20in%20Iraq%20final%2029.1.2016.pdfenSage1461742086802050Sexual violence in Iraq: Challenges for transnational feminist politicsAl-Ali, Nadje2018-02-01Journal Article/ReviewAMhttp://doi.org/10.1177/1350506816633723

This article identifies and analyses links between conceptualisations of trans-gender and trans-national and aims for a critical redefinition of political agency. Through an examination of theories on transing, passing and performativity in queer-, trans-, and transnational feminist knowledge production and illustrated by discursive examples from transgender communities and Romanian migrant communities I call for a conceptualisation of entangled power relations that does not rely on fixed pre-established categories but defines subjectivity through risk in political struggle.
I suggest that ‘transing’ the nation and ‘transing’ gender could be thought as critical moves for a radical deconstruction of gendered and national belonging. Rather than provide a static definition of the term ‘transnationalism’ the article explores potentials and limits of going beyond ‘the national’ and ‘gender’ and intervenes in forms of minority nationalism that reproduce racism, sexism, heteronormativity and gender binary as the norm of Western national belonging. In particular, building on Jasbir Puar’s conceptualisation of homonationalism the article shows how forms of nationalism in Western transgender and migrant communities rely on a combination of heteronormative binary gendering and the exertion of racism. While a conventionalised approach to transnationalism defines the term as a political strategy based on transnational politics I play with suggesting different dimensions of transnationalism: it could mean ‘transgender nationalism’; the 'assimilation of transgendered persons to the Western nation'; or 'cross-border-nationalism', a form of nationalism often established in migrant communities that constructs the diaspora as a nationalist extension of the homeland. My focus, therefore, is on analysing privilegings, contradictions and ambivalences in gendering, racialising and nationalising ascriptions of (non)belonging.
Overall, and as an alternative to romanticized knowledge productions of crossing national and gendered borders I suggest a power-sensitive epistemological and methodological shift in thinking entangled power relations, belonging and subjectivity in trans_national feminist knowledge productions.application/pdfhttps://eprints.soas.ac.uk/22468/1/Tudor_22468.pdfenSage0141778986802050Dimensions of Transnationalism2016-04-11Tudor, Alyosxa2017-11-01Journal Article/ReviewAMhttp://doi.org/10.1057/s41305-017-0092-5
