This report has identified emerging issues within the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda. Climate change has long been identified as a key cross-cutting issue and several potential avenues for WPS policy are identified. Other issues such as artificial intelligence (AI) have been highlighted as potentially relevant, but relatively little discussed with respect to WPS. The WPS agenda focuses on addressing the gendered impact of conflict and seeking to prevent conflict through increased women’s participation. In this report, WPS is understood as a body of UN Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs) and state national action plans (NAPs) labelled as WPS; as well as other UN and state policies using the language and ideas of WPS; and actions and ideas produced by civil society and academics inspired by the United Nations (UN) agenda or sharing ideas with it. The report focuses on new and emerging issues identified by academics and policymakers as relevant to the WPS agenda. Emerging trends and issues are broadly understood as: • Parts of the WPS agenda that are increasingly part of policies formulated by the UN, member states or civil society actors. • Parts of the WPS agenda that scholars or policymakers think have been neglected or not implemented sufficiently. • Re-interpretations of the framing of the WPS agenda. • New areas to which it is argued WPS should be applied. • Parallel international policy agendas with conceptual or legislative overlap with WPS. Emerging trends and issues are discussed with reference to their status in policy and implementation; normative debates about their place in the WPS agenda; and evidence on their implications for and applicability to certain contexts. The report does not seek to predict or assess the future trends or their relative importance, beyond highlighted existing interpretations of their status, implementation and potential implications. The report discusses a variety of emerging issues. These include issues where the WPS agenda has already been applied, but where its implementation –or lack thereof – has been criticised, such as in counterterrorism and arms control, or the conceptualisation of gender. The ability of WPS instruments to address changing forms of conflict has also been criticised. Issues to which it is argued that WPS should, and could, be applied more thoroughly, such as gang violence and trafficking, are discussed. The report includes new fields such as cybersecurity and AI, about which there is relatively little literature linked to WPS, but agreement that it may be relevant.

Ce numéro spécial propose un regard empirique et contextualisé sur les réceptions du genre, en tant qu’enjeu transnational, norme globale et catégorie d’action, par les acteurs et actrices du multilatéralisme sur la paix et la sécurité internationales. Les quatre articles rassemblés dans le numéro invitent à croiser la sociologie des relations internationales, la théorie des narratifs stratégiques, les études féministes et la sociologie des mobilisations. Ils ont en commun un fort ancrage empirique – s’appuyant sur l’importante littérature grise des organisations internationales et sur des enquêtes de terrain –, leur goût pour le dialogue entre différentes littératures et l’emploi de méthodes variées empruntées à l’ethnographie, la sociologie et les analyses de discours. Ce numéro thématique espère ainsi saisir au concret et en contexte l’émergence (I), la négociation (II) et la mise en oeuvre (III) du genre dans le domaine de la paix et la sécurité internationales.
