The International Relations theory under a feminist approach
Abstract
The sociological logic of the study of international relations is based on the recognition of the asymmetrical relations of power, from his performing, like realism and neorealism theories arise from there, and this tradition coincides with the development of visions of the study of gender and feminism, where the epistemological principle are similarly asymmetric relations between men and women both in their roles, social, cultural, economic, political, etc. Indeed, feminist approaches to International Relations have introduced gender as an essential tool for analyzing the interactions between states in the international framework. However, in spite of these efforts to construct a better International Relations Theory, feminist analysis has had little impact on international politics. The aim of this essay is to analyze the value in adopting a feminist perspective on International Relations.Downloads
