This is an excerpt from Oxford Bibliographies. Thematically organized, this bibliography delves into crucial areas such as Queer Theory, Everyday Terrorism (also known as Patriarchal Terrorism or intimate partner violence), and intersectionality. Each entry provides succinct three to four sentence reviews alongside a concise overview of the respective theme. Although last updated in 2017, the sources enlisted remain valuable for those seeking scholarly and theoretical perspectives. Specifically, the chapter on gender and terrorism initiates its exploration akin to the inception of feminism in International Relations. It progresses to examine the gendering of men, who are often construed as "normal" terrorists. Subsequent sections offer an intersectional analysis of neo-Orientalism and the War on Terror, and scrutinize the gendered hierarchical international system, highlighting how it confers legitimacy onto states while stigmatizing politically violent non-state actors. Notably, the chapter concludes by spotlighting recent endeavors to queer both International Relations and Terrorism Studies, underscoring the intrinsic relationship between sexuality, gender hierarchy, and the study of terrorism.
