One of the most pronounced examples for the feminist critiques of classical concepts and assumptions brought to the fore by realist theory is J. Ann Tickner’s criticism of Hans J. Morgenthau’s “six principles of political realism” presented in his prominent work Politics Among Nations: The Struggle for Power and Peace first published in 1967. Tickner expressively revaluates Morgenthau’s
principles through the feminist lenses and significantly contributes to the critical evaluation of the mainstream IR theories (Hutchings, 2008: 100). According to Hans J. Morgenthau, the six principles of political realism are: i) politics is governed by objective laws which have roots in human nature; ii) national interest defined in terms of national power; iii) interest is always dynamic;
iv) abstract moral principles cannot be applied to politics; v) difference between moral aspirations of a nation and the universal moral principles; and vi) autonomy of international politics (Morgenthau, 1978: 4-15).
