The world is upside down
This review essay engages three texts focused on women who engaged with international thought in the early to mid-20th century. Women’s International Thought: A New History and Women’s International Thought: Towards a New Canon, both edited by Patricia Owens and her co-editors. The third, To Turn the Whole World Over: Black Women and Internationalism, edited by Keisha Blain and Tiffany Gill. A few women discussed in these texts are recognized tod…
Forum
Scholars of international studies frequently examine the interaction of power and rules in their subject of study. Our profession also has significant power dynamics and rules that are mutually constitutive. In this forum, four scholars consider aspects of the current formal and informal rules of the profession of international studies that influence our field
Revisiting Gendered States
State sovereignty and autonomy in the twenty-first century are both under challenge and continually reasserted in diverse ways through gender, sexuality, and race-making. This paradox makes it pertinent to revisit the idea of states as gendered political entities. Bringing together scholars from international relations and postcolonial and development studies, this volume collectively theorizes the modern state and its intricate relationship to s…
Feminist international relations
The article identifies some research agendas in feminist security studies and global political economy in a historical context of political instability, power transition and neoliberal capitalism. These encompass explanations of: the relationship between gender and violence, including their co-constitution; the promises and pitfalls of the United Nations’ women, peace and security agenda; the mapping of labour relations and expropriations in the …
A Century of International Relations Feminism
We examine feminism in international relations from the emergence of women's peace pragmatism during WWI to the development of the United Nations (UN) Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda a century later. We argue that feminism did not come late to international relations. Rather, international relations came late to feminism. Moreover, we show how the principles articulated by women peace activists at the 1915 Hague Conference represent disti…
Knowledge Is Power
In the past few years, progress has been made toward advancing global international relations (IR): ISA’s 2015 annual meeting program was evidence of this. Nevertheless, challenges remain. The one on which I will focus is the link between knowledge and power—that is, whose knowledge, and what kind of knowledge, is counted as legitimate (and “scientific”) by the mainstream of the discipline. This is still an obstacle to overcome if we are to move …
Revisiting IR in a Time of Crisis
The sense of crisis, fueled by military conflicts, the failures of neoliberal globalization and ecological degradation, is everywhere. Neoconservative agendas and cuts in educational spending are shrinking space for critical thinking necessary for understanding the impacts of these crises on ordinary people's lives. This article examines some indigenous responses to these various crises. It reexamines IR's Westphalia triumphalist narrative about …
Reading Hobson through Feminist Lenses
In this article, I suggest ways in which feminist analysis would further enrich Hobson’s text. Questioning Hobson’s assumption that it is possible to create separate ‘metanarratives’ about Eurocentrism and patriarchy, I claim that patriarchy, imperialism and Eurocentrism were co-constituted through the practices of Western imperialism and the creation of modern Western knowledge. I then take up Hobson’s question that asks whether one is, or is no…

Dealing with Difference
This address suggests some avenues through which IR scholars from a variety of methodological approaches and different geographical locations might better dialogue with each other in mutually respectful ways. It begins by briefly revisiting IR’s great debates since they represent the way the discipline has traditionally defined itself. It claims that these debates have centred on challenging the predominance of a US-centred discipline and its com…

Feminist Security Studies
As feminist international relations enters its third decade as a subdiscipline within IR, it is particularly fitting that we recognize and celebrate the stimulating and important new research that is being done in Feminist Security Studies. In the early days of feminist IR, feminists tended to stay away from security studies, at least as it is conventionally defined, a tendency that, fortunately, is no longer the case. The rich and varied researc…

The innovative and exciting research in the field of feminist International Relations (IR) scholarship and feminist International Law is discussed. The challenges and difficulties that lie ahead for both disciplines as well as the potential for feminists in IR are highlighted
Risks and Opportunities of Crossing the Academy/Policy Divide
Editors' Note:The theme statement of the 2007 annual meeting of the International Studies Association challenged scholars to reflect on their responsibility to the policy world and the wider policy community. It asked whether those of us in the academy have a responsibility to seek political and social change by working for national governments and international organizations or whether such work results in unacceptable compromises with our polit…
Responsible Scholarship in International Relations
The theme of the 2007 annual meeting of the ISA in Chicago, Politics, Policy, and Responsible Scholarship, encouraged participants to reflect on their ethical responsibilities as scholars and teachers. International relations (IR) scholars hold very different views on the purposes of their research—whether it should be motivated by policy-oriented problem solving within existing power structures or structurally transformational. The conference th…
On The Frontlines or Sidelines of Knowledge and Power? Feminist Practices of Responsible Scholarship
This presidential address challenges IR scholars to reflect on their scholarly responsibility in what some have termed a new age of empire and in which critics of US foreign policy—academics and otherwise—are increasingly under attack. Using the metaphor of frontlines and sidelines, the question is raised as to whether we can or should engage directly in the policy world or remain at a critical distance from it. This essay focuses on some ways in…
What Is Your Research Program? Some Feminist Answers to International Relations Methodological Questions
Methodological issues have constituted some of the deepest sources of misunderstanding between International Relations (IR) feminists and IR theorists working in social scientific frameworks. IR theorists have called upon feminists to frame their research questions in terms of testable hypotheses. Feminists have responded that their research questions cannot be answered using social science explanatory frameworks. Deep epistemological divisions a…

The gendered frontiers of globalization
Women are rarely to be found in the elite international corporate structure of the globalizing economy. They are, however, an important component of the new mobile global labor force. This article examines the pros and cons of economic globalization for women; in particular, why so many women are disproportionately disadvantaged by the globalizing forces associated with the neoliberal international economy. It also outlines some ways in which wom…
Susan Moller Okin
The entry in W. H. Auden's Commonplace Book for “Justice” cautions: “Whoever suffers from the malady of being unable to endure any injustice, must never look out of the window, but stay in his room with the door shut. He would also do well, perhaps, to throw away his mirror.” Susan Moller Okin suffered this malady but rejected the poet's advice. She opened the window and looked in the mirror; her writings reflect sensitivity to injustice and acut…

Feminist Perspectives on 9/11
In this article I offer a feminist analysis of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. I demonstrate how gendered discourses are used in this and other conflict situations to reinforce mutual hostilities. I suggest that men’s association with war–fighting and national security serves to reinforce their legitimacy in world politics while it acts to create barriers for women. Using the framework of a post–9/11 world, I offer some alternative models o…
You Just Don't Understand
This article reconstructs some conversational encounters between feminists and IR theorists and offers some hypotheses as to why misunderstandings so frequently result from these encounters. It claims that contemporary feminist perspectives on international relations are based on ontologies and epistemologies that are quite different from those that inform the conventional discipline. Therefore, they do not fit comfortably within conventional sta…

In Gender in International Relations, J. Ann Tickner extends and applies a variety of contemporary feminist perspectives to the phenomena of international relations. These new ways of seeing suggest constructive criticisms of realist, liberal, and Marxist theories, and in particular reveal gender differences and inequalities in the historical construction of state identities and citizen responsibilities. Tickner explores economic and environmenta…

Gendering world politics
Hans Morgenthau's Principles of Political Realism
International politics is a man’s world, a world of power and conflict in which warfare is a privileged activity. Traditionally, diplomacy, military service, and the science of international politics have been largely male domains. In the past, women have rarely been included in the ranks of professional diplomats or the military: of the relatively few women who specialize in the academic discipline of international relations, few are security sp…

Why Women Can't Run the World
This article critiques Francis Fukuyama's “Women and the Evolution of World Politics.” Questioning feminists' commitment to social constructivism, Fukuyama uses a sociobiological argument to make the claim that a world run by women would be more peaceful than one ruled by men, whose aggressive instincts he compares to those of chimpanzees at Gombe. While he sees a possibility of this “feminized world” being realized in the West, Fukuyama argues f…

States and Markets
This article examines the way in which the interaction between states and markets since the seventeenth century has depended on the exploitation of nature. The accumulation of wealth and power by the early modern state depended on the enlightenment ideology that saw nature as a resource to be exploited for human progress. An expansionary Eurocentric state system imposed this ideology on other cultures through imperialism and the globalization of …

The Reagan Administration regularly prescribed the magic of the marketplace for Third World development: more liberal international trade and getting government out of the development business. The ideas of the American Founders were frequently invoked to support such policies. This article compares the Reagan prescriptions with those of American policy makers between 1776 and 1830. The author argues that the Founding Fathers were very much aware…

Gendered States
Taking seriously the question "What difference does gender make?," the authors illuminate new directions in IR by highlighting the role of gender in constructing and maintaining the sovereign state system and its related notions of security, autonomy, and identity.

Harbingers of Peace? Women and American Foreign Policy in the Twentieth Century Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones Changing Differences
Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones's Changing Differences documents the roles that women, both as insiders and outsiders, have played in shaping American foreign policy since the early years of this century. The tone of the study is optimistic: The author claims that women are, in his words, “the emergent gender” (p. 170) whose “untapped talent” is, in spite of struggle, experiencing “a measurable degree of success” (p. 197). We are left with the sense that w…
