During her career Eschle has written for several acclaimed journals such as Security Dialogue, International Studies Quarterly, and the European Journal of Politics and Gender, and Political Studies.[5]
Eschle’s primary area of research discusses the global justice movement in which she has written two books and several research articles about.[2] Her books are titled: Making Feminist Sense of the Global Justice Movement and Global Democracy, Social Movements, And Feminism (the latter of which was co-written with Bice Maiguashca).

Through “Gender, Feminism and (Anti-) Nuclear Politics in the Post-Cold War World” Eschle looks to examine the post cold war and nuclear politics through a feminist perspective. Additionally, Eschle examines the connection between feminist work and anti-nuclear activism in the post cold war world, and the impact of gender on nuclear politics.[3]
