In Deploying Feminism, Dr. Von Hlatky looks at what happens when the Women, Peace and Security agenda is converted into NATO military operations, asking how gender norms have changed NATO operations, but also what gets lost in translation when those norms meet military culture. She delivers an engaging first-person account through interviews with NATO commanders, soldiers and officials in Kosovo, the Baltics, Iraq and Brussels. The book is an important
contribution for practitioners and scholars alike: it draws important lessons on how militaries and international peace missions can do a better job on gender and offers a thoughtful take on how the international Women, Peace and Security agenda has been transformed.
