National Security, Foreign Policy + Gender in 2018
New America commissioned Haller Strategies to conduct in-depth qualitative research among senior U.S. policymakers and influencers to understand national security policymakers’ perceptions around gender. This study is the follow-up to one conducted in summer 2016.
The findings provide an in-depth look and analysis into policymakers' views on gender inclusivity, awareness of gender theory, the inclusive security agenda and gender-differentiated data, as well as perceptions of the role of gender in national security policy processes and outcomes. We asked a range of questions of the policymakers also examining where gender is present, absent and siloed as policy is formulated and implemented.
Not Secondary, But Central: Securing Gender in the Mainstream
New America’s Better Life Lab and New Models of Policy Change Project sought to better understand national security policy, gender theory and cross-sectoral collaboration to look at whether and how inclusivity is shaping American national security policy. The study consisted of in-depth interviews with senior policymakers to gain a deeper understanding of how they perceive the interrelated challenges of policy and gender.
The Untold Story of Unpaid Work: Mapping Gender Perceptions of International Economic Development Decision Makers

The research featured both quantitative and qualitative research. The international survey and in-depth interviews included a select group of decision makers working in international finance and economic development.
