Abstract

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), as security organisation, plays a key role in mainstreaming gender policies not only because the organisation itself is characterised by hegemonic masculinity and operates in a hyper-masculine environment but also because international organisations are central actors in norm creation and implementation. Wüstemann gives an overview of NATO’s previous activities in implementing gender norms at both institutional and policy levels and within NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan to show how NATO is interpreting gender mainstreaming on its different levels.

Fußnoten

Here, gender mainstreaming is closely linked to operational effectiveness and therefore “recognises the role of gender integration in international peace and security, as well as the understanding that policies and programs may have different impacts on men and women” (de Jonge Oudraat 2013: 613).

At this point, I refer to analyses made by Olsson and Tejpar (2009) and Lackenbauer and Langlais (2013).

ISAF’s command structure consisted of a headquarters (ISAF HQ), two subordinate headquarters, the NATO Training Mission (NTM-A) and the ISAF Joint Command (IJC) HQ. The six regional commands (RCs) were under the command of the IJC (Lackenbauer and Langlais 2013: 34f.).
