Exploring the digital frontiers of feminist international relations, this book investigates how gender can be mainstreamed into discourse about technology and security.



With a focus on big data, communications technology, social media, cryptocurrency and decentralized finance, the book explores the ways in which technology presents sites for gender-based violence. Crucially, it examines potential avenues for resistance at these sites, especially regarding the actions of major tech companies, surveillance by repressive governments and attempts to use the Global South as a laboratory for new interventions.



The book draws valuable insights that will be essential to researchers in international relations, security studies and feminist security studies.

Arvustused

"Henshaws Digital Frontiers in Gender and Security offers a comprehensive analysis of the role of digital technologies in promoting gender security, while also providing



a nuanced exploration of the potential benefits and challenges of digital technologies in the context of gender-based violence." International Affairs This is an incisive and important study that demonstrates the specific threats that women and minorities face in cyberspace. Henshaw raises our awareness beyond what is routine knowledge about the darker side of the net, giving the feminist and international relations community serious food for thought and raising future research questions.
