Abstract

Abstract:This article explores transnational anti-gender networking promoting "the natural family." We focus on the World Congress of Families (WCF) and investigate how it is organized transnationally. We draw on international relations theory on challenges to the liberal international order as well as on theories on transcalar activism. The empirical material includes observations from two conferences and material produced by the WCF itself. We discuss the WCF's role in relation to political polarization, and we also analyze it as a social structure: its actor constellations and new forms of activism. The analysis shows that strategic networking with elites as well as grassroots has rendered the WCF a significant player in global politics.

挑战自由国际秩序的跨尺度行动主义:以世界家庭大会为例

摘要:本文探讨了促进“自然家庭”的跨国反性别网络。我们关注世界家庭大会(WCF)，并调查它是如何跨国组织的。我们借鉴了国际关系理论对自由主义国际秩序的挑战以及跨尺度行动主义的理论。经验性材料包括两次会议的观察结果和世界环境基金会本身制作的材料。我们讨论了WCF在政治两极分化中的作用，我们也分析了它作为一种社会结构:它的行动者星座和行动主义的新形式。分析表明，与精英和基层的战略网络使世界基金会在全球政治中发挥了重要作用。

期刊介绍： Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
