by J. Ann Tickner
Gender in International Relations extends and applies a variety of contemporary feminist perspectives to the phenomenon of international relations.
Demonstrating how feminist perspective changes and expands our view of the global system. Tickner explores 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.
"Tickner^s stimulating challenge can be disputed, but it is too well considered and thoughtful to ignore. Gender in International Relations is likely to begin a productive debate involving international relations scholars, feminist thinkers, and others concerned about security in the most inclusive sense."
--Robert O. Keohane, Harvard University
Tickner unmasks a hegemonic masculinity that defines national security in narrow terms inadequate for understanding the complexities of global problems and politics today ... Carefully drawing on previous feminist critiques, Tickner's tightly reasoned argument concludes with notes toward a nongendered perspective."--Choice
