Gendering the International - (Millennium) by Hakan Seckinelgin (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

In Gendering the International, the contributors explore the different ways of analyzing gender in international studies beyond the state-centric perspective of International Relations (IR). They demonstrate that it is possible to think about 'the international' beyond the traditional framework of IR. They contend IR is a set of gendered practices, by critically examining ways in which gender discourses are deployed in the analyses of 'the international'. Furthermore, they reflect on the interactions between gender and globalizing forces in a post-colonial environment.
