The Gendered New World Order: Militarism, Development, and the Environment

by J. Turpin (Editor), Lois Ann Lorentzen (Editor)

Ecological security seems increasingly precarious and battles over land and models of economic development now lead to military conflicts. The Gendered New World Order addresses the compelling issue of how gender connects the global problems of militarism, underdevelopment, and environmental decay. Scholars from around the world make connections between seemingly disparate issues such as refugees, polluted waters, bombed vilages, massive dam projects, starving children, deforestation, nuclear arms buildup and the rights of women.

[Xandria · Rating 4 out of 5]

A little outdated in terms of gender/gender analysis, but a great foundational text. I did expect it to intertwine ecofeminism and the militarization of nations more so than the couple of essays that addressed it. But overall a good broad picture of what's going on in gender, war, and the environment. Plus the essays are all engaging.
