Populist and Illiberal Politics: Protecting LGBTQ+ People With the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda

30 January, 2024

Dr Jamie Hagen

Institute Fellow Dr Jamie Hagen (The Politics and Security of Institutional Peacebuilding) recently co-authored an article with Dr Elizabeth Corredor (Bryn Mawr College), for the New Lines Institute.

The Terrain Analysis considers how, with illiberal and populist mobilizations on the rise at home and abroad, LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) rights are continually coming under attack in the media, in legislative initiatives, and on the campaign trail.  A key strategy for both domestic and transnational illiberal and populist movements has been to denounce LGBTQ+ equality to rally support and build their base.  As anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment spreads, LGBTQ+ people’s fundamental right to peace and security is being threatened.  The decades of organizing for attention to gender as a dimension of foreign and domestic policy globally through the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda provide a valuable platform for addressing this growing issue in the lives of lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer women.

The authors make a number of recommendations for policymakers, to take this work forward.

The New Lines Institute aims to provoke principled and transformative leadership based on peace and security, global communities, character, stewardship and development.  Their purpose is to shape US foreign policy based on a deep understanding of regional geopolitics and the value systems of those regions. 

Read the article here.

On invitation Jamie Hagen and Elizabeth Corredor presented the Terrain Analysis to the U.S. State Department at an event hosted by the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Steering committee on 14 December.  Discussion from the event will inform the implementation of 2023 Strategy and National Action Plan on the US implementation of their Women, Peace and Security agenda.
