Description
This paper presents preliminary findings of a systematic study of the international political thought of Asia Pacific women’s regional networks and what lessons their ideas provide for addressing the interrelated global crises we experience today. Three regional networks, which are among the longest running and with expansive connections in the Asia Pacific, are selected for this pilot project. Feminist historical and interpretivist approaches were used in examining all publicly available publications from pamphlets and newsletters to official reports by these networks from the 1980s to the present. Secondary sources such as United Nations archival records and reports will be used for corroborating and contextualising findings.
