Feminist Governance and Governance Feminism: Mobilization, Resistance, and Transformation in Mexico

This article provides insights into contemporary Mexican feminist governance and debates that can minimize the politico-economic contingencies at play in the Global South, through an historical account of multiple forms of resistance and feminisms. We argue that these longstanding struggles inform today’s feminist governance and contestation around “governance feminism,” creating a vibrant interplay between “mainstreaming” and “sidestreaming” that affects the contours of, and provides challenges to, “governance feminism” in theory and in practice.
