女性主义地理学与政治地理学之间的交集和对话少之又少,女性主义地缘政治的概念在地理学中仍未得到发展,本文旨在为女性主义地缘政治的阐释创造一个理论和实践空间。女性主义地缘政治不是地缘政治的一种替代理论,也不是一种新的空间秩序的引入,而是一种以女性主义政治思考全球问题的方法。在这种情况下,“女权主义”指的是分析和政治干预,解决人们之间基于实际或感知差异的不平等和经常暴力的关系。基于批判性地缘政治、女权主义国际关系和跨国女权主义研究的文献,我为女权主义政治参与制定了一个框架。本文探讨了人类安全的概念,并将其与国家安全并列,主张建立一个更负责任、更具体、更敏感的地缘政治概念。女权主义地缘政治是通过审视民族国家以外的尺度政治来寻求的;通过在全球范围内挑战公共/私人鸿沟;通过分析反人类罪罪犯的流动政治。因此,女权主义地缘政治是一种批判性的方法,也是一套偶然的政治实践,在比民族国家更精细、更粗糙的尺度上运作。
The intersections and conversations between feminist geography and political geography have been surprisingly few, The notion of a feminist geopolitics remains undeveloped in geography, This paper aims to create a theoretical and practical space in which to articulate a feminist geopolitics. Feminist geopolitics is not an alternative theory of geopolitics, nor the ushering in of a new spatial order, but is an approach to global issues with feminist politics in mind. 'Feminist' in this context refers to analyses and political interventions that address the unequal and often violent relationships among people based on real or perceived differences. Building upon the literature from critical geopolitics, feminist international relations, and transnational feminist studies, I develop a framework for feminist political engagement. The paper interrogates concepts of human security and juxtaposes them with state security, arguing for a more accountable, embodied, and responsive notion of geopolitics. A feminist geopolitics is sought by examining politics at scales other than that of the nation-state; by challenging the public/private divide at a global scale; and by analyzing the politics of mobility for perpetrators of crimes against humanity. As such, feminist geopolitics is a critical approach and a contingent set of political practices operating at scales finer and coarser than the nation-state.
