Abstract

More than 20 years after the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000), the United States is still in the process of institutionalizing its strategy on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS). While the Women, Peace, and Security Act (2017) established a legal mandate by which federal agencies are obligated to demonstrate efforts to mainstream gender in foreign policy, timely implementation has been hindered by confusion and disagreement over the aims of WPS. Drawing on elite interviews with 35 stakeholders working on WPS implementation across relevant institutions, I argue that implementation efforts in the United States have resulted in understandings of WPS that parse the agenda as an extension of familiar issues like the War on Terror, debates over reproductive rights, and issues of sexual harassment and equal opportunity. I demonstrate how feminist security studies and cognitive approaches to foreign policy analysis explain these outcomes.

“妇女、男子、男孩和女孩”：分析美国妇女、和平与安全的实施

在联合国安理会第1325(2000)号决议通过20多年后，美国仍在将其妇女、和平与安全战略制度化。虽然《妇女、和平与安全法》(2017年)确立了一项法律授权，规定联邦机构有义务展示在外交政策中实现性别主流化的努力，但由于对《妇女、和平与安全法》的目标存在混乱和分歧，妨碍了及时实施。通过对35位在相关机构中从事WPS实施工作的利益相关者的精英采访，我认为，美国的实施努力已经导致了对WPS的理解，将议程解析为熟悉的问题的延伸，如反恐战争、生殖权利辩论、性骚扰和机会平等问题。我展示了女权主义安全研究和外交政策分析的认知方法如何解释这些结果。

期刊介绍： Reflecting the diverse, comparative and multidisciplinary nature of the field, Foreign Policy Analysis provides an open forum for research publication that enhances the communication of concepts and ideas across theoretical, methodological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. By emphasizing accessibility of content for scholars of all perspectives and approaches in the editorial and review process, Foreign Policy Analysis serves as a source for efforts at theoretical and methodological integration and deepening the conceptual debates throughout this rich and complex academic research tradition. Foreign policy analysis, as a field of study, is characterized by its actor-specific focus. The underlying, often implicit argument is that the source of international politics and change in international politics is human beings, acting individually or in groups. In the simplest terms, foreign policy analysis is the study of the process, effects, causes or outputs of foreign policy decision-making in either a comparative or case-specific manner.
