description Objective/Context: This article introduces debates on the relationship between gender and politics in various fields of analysis. Although gender, as an analytical category, is essentially political, such a condition is not automatic as it results from a variety of ways in which activisms and specialized knowledges understand each issue. Methodology: We review some moments and general contributions to the subject that allow us to discover the originality and particularity of an emerging and innovative literature we selected for this special issue. Conclusions: It becomes evident that the gender perspective is not limited to dealing with women’s issues but allows for understanding the organization of society in its different spheres under a new light. There are, however, topics that still deserve to be brought to the center of these debates, such as the question of politics without the State being a point of reference, new forms of government that are genderized, and sexuality, and the place of masculinities as an object of analysis and intervention in policies. Originality: This issue presents feminist readings of wars and political transitions, as well as the possibility of reading other dimensions of politics and “other politics”.
