by J. Ann Tickner (Author)
Gender in International Relations extends and applies a variety of contemporary feminist perspectives to the phenomenon of international relations.
Demonstrating how a feminist perspective changes and expands our view of the global system, Tickner explores the ways in which the world economy has differentially rewarded men and women and reexamines the gender implications of modern mankind's domination over nature.
Tickner's review of gender differences in political, military, economic, and ecological relations offers a new view of the insecurities faced by women and men in world politics. Her feminist reconceptualization of security recasts recent theoretical efforts in international relations to construct more adequate security arrangements, both comprehensive and common.
