Feminist Theory and International Relations in a Postmodern Era (Cambridge Studies in International Relations, Series Number 32) - Hardcover
This book argues that the identities and activities commonly associated with women have been eliminated from the theories formulated about international relations. The author points out that these theories often rely on the hidden activities of women and their assigned tasks in life to establish a sphere of politics that is for men only. Using case studies of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in the UK, and of Zimbabwean women's efforts to secure international funding for producer cooperatives, the book explores the possibility of undermining the masculine identity politics of international relations.

Book Description:
Using case studies of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in the U.K. and of Zimbabwean women's efforts to secure international funding for producer cooperatives, this text explores the possibility of undermining the masculine identity politics that characterize international relations.
From the Back Cover:
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.
