Gender in International Relations: Feminist Perspectives and Policy Challenges

Gender remains underexplored in the study and practice of international relations, often overshadowed by traditional power politics and narratives. Feminist perspectives in international relations (IR) challenge these notions by highlighting how global policies, institutions, and conflicts are gendered, often marginalizing women and other underrepresented groups. Feminist theories reframe current issues, while also revealing the policy challenges in integrating gender-sensitive approaches into global governance. Further exploration may uncover the structural inequalities within international systems and advocate for more inclusive and equitable policy-making. Gender in International Relations: Feminist Perspectives and Policy Challenges explores the intersection of gender and international relations, offering feminist critiques and reimagining global politics. It investigates how traditional international relations theories sideline gender, and how feminist perspectives challenge prevailing power structures, policy narratives, and institutional frameworks. This book covers topics such as feminist theory, women in business, and sustainable development, and is a useful resource for sociologists, government officials, policymakers, business owners, academicians, researchers, and political scientists.
