Feminism and International Relations: Conversations about the Past, Present and Future
Mayelana nale ebook
Celebrating these achievements, this book constructs conversations about the history, present state of, and future of feminist International Relations as a field across subfields of IR, continents, and generations of scholars. Providing an overview and assessment of what it means to "gender" IR in the 21st century, the volume has a unique format: it features a series of intellectual conversations, presenting cutting-edge research in the field, with provocative comments from senior scholars. It examines issues including global governance, the United Nations, war, peace, security, science, beauty, and human rights and addresses key questions including:
- What does viewing the diverse problems of global politics through gendered lenses look like in the 21st Century?
- How do feminisms accommodate differences in culture, race, and religion?
- How do feminist theoretical and policy analyses fit together?
These conversations about feminist IR are accessible to non-specialist audiences and will be of interest to students and scholars of Gender Studies, Feminist Politics and International Relations.
