In contrast to fields such as development, peace and security, and corporate governance, questions of gender equality have only recently begun entering into trade policymaking. In recent years, there has been a proliferation of initiatives aimed at leveraging trade for gender equality and addressing the adverse impacts of trade on women and other vulnerable populations. In this article, we assess whether the new gender and trade agenda marks a transformative moment in global trade governance or reproduces the trade orthodoxy, thereby perpetuating existing inequalities. We build upon critical trade and feminist IPE literatures to develop an analytical framework to examine whether gender and trade initiatives reproduce or disrupt the orthodoxy. Its four key markers are: market rationality, technocracy, legalization, and abstraction. We find that while most gender and trade initiatives that we study reproduce and further entrench the trade orthodoxy, there are openings that could lead towards a more transformative trade politics. Future research should examine the policy processes that produced these openings and investigate if and how they could be transferred into policy instruments that lead to real changes to how the world trades.
