Feminist Theory and International Relations in a Postmodern Era

Omtale

This book evaluates the major debates around which the discipline of international relations has developed in the light of contemporary feminist theories. Three debates (realist versus idealist, scientific versus traditional, modernist versus postmodernist) are discussed against the backdrop of feminist activities and theories that were ignored as the field unfolded, and in the context of feminist empiricist, standpoint and postmodern epistemologies of the moment.
