“…Feminist scholars have found Marx's focus on productive forces problematic, as it Environmental Politics 425 neglects reproductive work when in reality (social) reproduction and production are linked and interdependent, both forming a part of global economic patterns (Peterson 2003). Theorists that look at (often unpaid) reproductive labour such as love, caring, subsistence, and cleaning (Hartsock 1985, Jónasdóttir 1991, Hennessy 1993) view reproduction as essential to upholding both gender power relations and the economic system of production and consumption (cf.…”

Investigations of the interconnectedness of climate change with human societies require profound analysis of relations among humans and between humans and nature, and the integration of insights from various academic fields. An intersectional approach, developed within critical feminist theory, is advantageous. An intersectional analysis of climate change illuminates how different individuals and groups relate differently to climate change, due to their situatedness in power structures based on context-specific and dynamic social categorisations. Intersectionality sketches out a pathway that stays clear of traps of essentialisation, enabling solidarity and agency across and beyond social categories. It can illustrate how power structures and categorisations may be reinforced, but also challenged and renegotiated, in realities of climate change. We engage with intersectionality as a tool for critical thinking, and provide a set of questions that may serve as sensitisers for intersectional analyses on climate change.

“…The second tenet challenges the association of those values prized in the realm of international security with masculinities (Connell 1995;Hooper 2001). The third tenet calls for the recognition of the broad and diverse roles gender plays in security theory and practice (Peterson 2003;Hosykns and Rai 2007). Lastly, feminists question the politics of omitting gender from security studies and confront "the assumption that gendered security practices address only women" (Blanchard 2003(Blanchard , p. 1290.…”

“…Despite his view that the Somali militant Islamist group al-Shabaab is a greater risk to international security, he argues that Somali pirates have solicited a larger international response in the form of the unprecedented deployment of multi-national warships off the coast of Somalia. Several scholars argue that post-9/11 Western governments are concerned with the purported link between weak and failed states and the rise of terrorism (Rotberg 2003;Pham 2010;Samatar et al 2010;Sterio 2009Sterio -2010. Since the end of the Somali Civil War, policy makers, development organizations, and scholars have classified Somalia as a failed state (Rotberg 2002;Menkaus 2006/7;Boas and Jennings 2007;Moller 2009;Shapiro 2012).…”

“…2 In addition to the privatization of security services, over the past decade the Department of Defense has also restructured the provision of so-called vital support services to the armed forces. 3 Reflecting more general economic trends toward restructuring and flexible production (Peterson 2003), the U.S. Army in 1985 formally created the Logistical Civil Augmentation Contract, or LOGCAP. This program institutionalized practices of outsourcing already increasingly in place following the Vietnam War.…”

(Re)Producing American Soldiers in an Age of Empire

While there has been little data gathered as to the presence of migrant workers in service occupations on U.S. military bases in Iraq, the data that do exist along with anecdotal evidence gathered by journalists suggest that the division of reproductive labor on military bases reflects an underexplored axis in the global organization of social reproductive labor. Due in part to the privatization of these services, the vast majority of vital support service labor is outsourced to and performed by men migrating from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Nepal, and Pakistan. This globalized division of reproductive labor is a site of symbolic politics that reinforces the gendered dimensions of the national identity of the American soldier. This division builds off of a long tradition of gendered dynamics framing military service. The displacement of reproductive labor, which remains coded as effeminate, onto poor migrant men serves to reinforce the aggressive masculine version of American soldiering in a way that smoothes over differences among soldiers along the lines of race, class, rural or urban origin, and even gender. Echoing earlier colonizer -colonized relations, this division of labor in turn supports the increasingly imperial posture that the United States has assumed in the world.
