Feminist Geopolitics

Feminist geopolitics has become an important cluster of feminist approaches in political geography. The success of the label rests on the encounter between different genealogies: the first as a feminist critique of critical geopolitics, the second as a bridge between feminist and political geographies, and the third as a feminist perspective on the Earth (the geo‐) with an emphasis on materiality. This chapter introduces these in turn and explores the key literatures and developments that underpin these genealogies. The conclusion offers an overall assessment of a quarter of century of feminist geopolitics and sketches some challenges and directions for its future
