🚨New online! "Preventing & countering violent extremism: the logics of women’s participation" by @queenietomaro.bsky.social, on participation of women in security spaces, using the Philippines as case study. ⬇️ #openaccess #academicpublishing #internationalsecurity www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
BSTRACT
Women’s participation in preventing and countering extremist
violence is increasingly prioritised in international, regional and
national policies on Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism (P/
CVE), after the adoption of United Nations Security Council
Resolution 2242 (2015). It is crucial to analyse how local policies
construct women’s participation in local P/CVE, considering
influences from international and regional discourses. This paper
delves into the discourses on women’s participation in P/CVE,
seeking to explore the deeper logics that inform their
involvement in the P/CVE strategy of the Philippines. This
research unfolds in three distinct steps. First, a review of existing
literature on women and P/CVE. Second, I discuss the theoretical
and analytical approach of the research. Finally, I trace the
discourses on women’s participation within the nineteen policies
and identified three logics: logics of protection, political agency,
and religion. Studies on the discourses on women in P/CVE
policies allow us to interrogate the deeply seated assumptions
towards women in security spaces and how these assumptions
shape the participation spaces for women in extremist violence prevention work. Keywords: violent extremism; Phillippines; gender.

Something odd here. CBS News confirms other media reports: "Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions." The CBS News then notes that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said he's unaware of the directive.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has paused cyber offensive against Russia
The change comes amid President Trump's efforts to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.

In case anyone needs a break from reality (me, by 9 a.m. every day), my coauthor Anna Berg and I have a new, open access essay out in Perspectives! buff.ly/4gN6cFR. We describe the marginalization of qual methods in the study of American political behavior and make a case for their revival.

The overall story is of young Germans rejecting the established centre-right and centre-left, but while young men are shifting to both populist flanks, young women are shifting overwhelmingly to the populist left.

Community update: 3 strangers gather together on a sunny Brisbane evening walk. “Careful, I think I saw a snake”. “Is it dead or alive?”. “I think alive”. “How about I go first & one of you watch out?”. “Ok, but walk by on the road. We will watch out for cars”. “Argh! It’s real. Brown and grumpy”.
