Contrary to our understanding of when states act on women’s rights, Jordan adopted a policy on violence against women at the same time as it faced a number of external and internal security threats. In this article, I query the relationship between militarism and the gender policymaking process in Jordan to make sense of this puzzle. I specifically consider the ways in which a feminist conceptualization of militarism offers a more fruitful understanding of government action on violence against women in Jordan than studying this policy development through the lens of patriarchy, state institutions, and/or feminist activism alone. Indeed, evaluating the development of Jordan’s Family Protection Law through the lens of militarism and related security practices reveals the depth and breadth of these phenomena: the martial values and priorities of the Jordanian regime extend beyond the realm of traditional, ‘high politics’ security issues and impact civil, social, and even interpersonal relations – relations that are always already gendered – that are seemingly far removed from military concerns. I argue that the Jordanian government adopted its policy on violence against women because this enhanced the state’s image in the international arena and appeased domestic audiences by adhering to a gendered logic of protection that maintains the state as the ultimate protector of women. Overall, the article deepens our understanding of how militarism and the security climate influence the gender policymaking process, particularly in semi-authoritarian regimes.

保护妇女,保护国家:约旦的军国主义、安全威胁和政府对暴力侵害妇女行为采取的行动

与我们对国家何时为妇女权利采取行动的理解相反,约旦在面临一些外部和内部安全威胁的同时,采取了一项针对暴力侵害妇女的政策。在本文中,我询问了军国主义与约旦性别政策制定过程之间的关系,以弄清这个谜团。与仅通过父权制、国家机构和/或女权主义激进主义的视角研究这一政策发展相比,我特别考虑了军国主义的女权主义概念化对约旦政府针对暴力侵害妇女行为的行动提供了更富有成效的理解。事实上,从军国主义和相关安全实践的角度评估约旦家庭保护法的发展,揭示了这些现象的深度和广度:约旦政权的军事价值观和优先事项超出了传统的“高级政治”安全问题领域,并影响了公民、社会甚至人际关系——这些关系总是已经性别化——似乎与军事问题相去甚远。我认为,约旦政府采取了关于暴力侵害妇女行为的政策,因为这提升了国家在国际舞台上的形象,并通过坚持性别化的保护逻辑来安抚国内观众,使国家成为妇女的最终保护者。总的来说,这篇文章加深了我们对军国主义和安全气候如何影响性别政策制定过程的理解,尤其是在半专制政权中。“高级政治”安全问题并影响公民、社会甚至人际关系——这些关系总是已经被性别化了——这些关系似乎与军事问题相去甚远。我认为,约旦政府采取了关于暴力侵害妇女行为的政策,因为这提升了国家在国际舞台上的形象,并通过坚持性别化的保护逻辑来安抚国内观众,使国家成为妇女的最终保护者。总的来说,这篇文章加深了我们对军国主义和安全气候如何影响性别政策制定过程的理解,尤其是在半专制政权中。“高级政治”安全问题并影响公民、社会甚至人际关系——这些关系总是已经被性别化了——这些关系似乎与军事问题相去甚远。我认为,约旦政府采取了关于暴力侵害妇女行为的政策,因为这提升了国家在国际舞台上的形象,并通过坚持性别化的保护逻辑来安抚国内观众,使国家成为妇女的最终保护者。总的来说,这篇文章加深了我们对军国主义和安全气候如何影响性别政策制定过程的理解,特别是在半专制政权中。我认为,约旦政府采取了针对女性暴力行为的政策,因为这提升了国家在国际舞台上的形象,并通过坚持性别化的保护逻辑来安抚国内观众,使国家成为女性的最终保护者。总的来说,这篇文章加深了我们对军国主义和安全气候如何影响性别政策制定过程的理解,尤其是在半专制政权中。我认为,约旦政府采取了关于暴力侵害妇女行为的政策,因为这提升了国家在国际舞台上的形象,并通过坚持性别化的保护逻辑来安抚国内观众,使国家成为妇女的最终保护者。总的来说,这篇文章加深了我们对军国主义和安全气候如何影响性别政策制定过程的理解,尤其是在半专制政权中。
