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.

Author: Christine Sylvester

This book evaluates the major debates around which the discipline of international relations has developed in the light of contemporary feminist theories. The three debates (realist versus idealist, scientific versus traditional, modernist versus postmodernist) have been subject to feminist theorising since the earliest days of known feminist activities, with the current emphasis on feminist, empiricist standpoint and postmodernist ways of knowing. Christine Sylvester shows how feminist theorising could have affected our understanding of international relations had it been included in the three debates. She elaborates a feminist method of empathetically cooperative conversation which challenges the identity politics of IR, and illustrates that method with reference to the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp and the efforts of Zimbabwean women to negotiate international funding for their local producer cooperatives.
