Gender and Politics Reimagined: Centring Oceanic and Asian Lenses
(ANU Press, 2025) Jakimow, Tanya; Jolly, Margaret; Palmieri, Sonia; Vijeyarasa, Ramona
This timely collection reflects a coming together of academics, gender and development practitioners and activists to reflect on the gendering of politics. By centring Asia and Oceania and traversing numerous disciplines, the volume disrupts the illusion of certainty and clarity as to what is known about gender and politics. Individual chapters present specific research projects, while providing epistemological, theoretical and methodological reflections on how knowledge is produced and by whom, challenging the existing canon. The contributions collectively demonstrate the possibilities for theorising from Asia and Oceania to address the lack of diversity in political representation and leadership on a global scale, in which gender, race, class, caste, (dis)ability and sexual identity are powerfully interconnected. Arising out of the Gender and Cultural Diversity in Politics: Australia, Asia and the Pacific workshop held at The Australian National University in 2022, this collection underscores the importance of fostering scholarship and mentorship in the academy. The diversity of authorship encompasses differences in ethnicity, nationality, sexuality and career stage, with an emphasis on the inclusion of authors from various Oceanic and Asian countries. The volume promotes academic practice as integral to social change, and social action as a form of knowledge production. As such, Gender and Politics Reimagined is sure to be a cornerstone in future scholarly and activist discussions.

Nuclear balance and extended deterrence: evidence from cold war superpower alliances
(2026) Suh, Kyungwon
Does a favorable nuclear balance of power strengthen the credibility of extended deterrence against nuclear-armed opponents? This “superiority-credibility” thesis has long been supported by scholars and policymakers, but surprisingly little attention has been paid to testing this idea empirically. This paper tests the thesis using conflict initiation data from the superpower-led alliances during the Cold War. My statistical analyses find that there is no evidence that the degree of a superpower patron's military nuclear advantages vis-à-vis another nuclear-armed superpower significantly reduces the likelihood that the patron's allies become targets of militarized disputes. This finding holds across multiple model specifications and a wide range of measures of the balance of nuclear forces. This paper contributes to theoretical debates on the role of the nuclear balance in interactions between nuclear-armed states and policy debates on the size of the American nuclear arsenal in the coming era of deterring 2 nuclear-armed peers.
