How does feminist theorising enrich our understanding of International Relations theory?

Viac o knihe

Feminist perspectives in International Relations (IR) challenge the male-dominated narrative by highlighting women's struggles for recognition. This essay explores the origins of feminist theorizing, linking historical, social, and political aspects of the feminist movement to the development of various feminist IR theories. It critically assesses the effectiveness of feminism within IR, questioning whether it has contributed more than merely introducing gender as a variable, as suggested by V. S. Peterson. The analysis aims to deepen the understanding of feminism's role in shaping IR discourse.
