This article discusses how the United Nations’ “Women, Peace and Security” program has influenced the introduction of national policies for gender mainstreaming in the armed forces. It highlights the obstacles and favorable conditions for its implementation. Drawing on data from Portugal, it examines the rapid development of public policies at the government level, as well as the instruments and mechanisms through which the armed forces have integrated the objectives of the program. We argue that the adoption of official public policies is a necessary but not sufficient condition for successful implementation. More attention must also be paid to the specific means through which the acceptance of an official public policy eventually translates into institutional implementation.
