ABSTRACT This article reviews the participation of and challenges facing women in international affairs in Australia, with a focus on three sectors: the media, the civil service and the academy. We review the qualitative and quantitative data available, and share the results of a number of surveys and scans we have conducted ourselves: of the gender breakdown of undergraduate enrolments in Australian university courses focusing on international affairs; the gender break down of academic staff employed in politics and international relations programmes at Australian universities; the gender breakdown of authors published in the Australian Journal of International Affairs and the Australian Journal of Politics and History from 2000 to the present; and trends in the gender breakdown of citations in articles published in the Australian Journal of International Affairs between 2000–2001 and 2018–2019. We argue that although women in Australia are interested and engaged in international affairs in almost equal measure to their male counterparts, serious structural challenges continue to undermine their equitable representation in key fora and their career progression. This has clear implications for the future scholarship, practice and analysis of international affairs in Australia and beyond.

澳大利亚国际事务中的女性

摘要 本文回顾了澳大利亚女性在国际事务中的参与和面临的挑战，重点关注三个部门：媒体、公务员和学院。我们回顾了现有的定性和定量数据，并分享了我们自己进行的一系列调查和扫描的结果：澳大利亚大学国际事务课程本科招生的性别细分；澳大利亚大学政治和国际关系项目中聘用的学术人员的性别分类；从 2000 年至今发表在《澳大利亚国际事务杂志》和《澳大利亚政治与历史杂志》上的作者的性别分类；2000 年至 2001 年和 2018 年至 2019 年间发表在《澳大利亚国际事务杂志》上的文章中引用的性别分类和趋势。我们认为，尽管澳大利亚女性对国际事务的兴趣和参与程度几乎与男性相同，但严重的结构性挑战继续破坏她们在重要论坛中的公平代表权和职业发展。这对澳大利亚及其他地区未来国际事务的学术、实践和分析具有明确的意义。严重的结构性挑战继续损害他们在重要论坛中的公平代表权及其职业发展。这对澳大利亚及其他地区未来国际事务的学术、实践和分析具有明确的意义。严重的结构性挑战继续破坏他们在重要论坛中的公平代表权及其职业发展。这对澳大利亚及其他地区未来国际事务的学术、实践和分析具有明确的意义。
