The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda encompasses a wide range of policies, protocols, and practices that are implemented by various actors, either inspired by or under the auspices of the United Nations Security Council resolutions titled 'Women and Peace and Security.' Since the adoption of Resolution 1325 in 2000, nine subsequent resolutions have been adopted, each expanding upon the themes and principles outlined in the initial resolution.

This book serves as a forward-looking compilation of scholarship on the WPS agenda, divided into two halves. The first half presents a series of essays that showcase the diverse and insightful research being conducted on WPS in various contexts, emphasizing the significance of centering the local as a site of knowledge production within the WPS agenda. The essays in the second half of the book delve into questions of knowledge production, documenting the exploratory methods employed in WPS scholarship and highlighting those topics that lie at the forefront of a broad field, pointing towards the future directions of research in this area.

The chapters in this book were originally published as special issues of the International Feminist Journal of Politics.
