THEORIES OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS II (ULUSLARARASI İLİŞKİLER KURAMLARI II) - (İNGİLİZCE) Dersi Feminist Thought and International Relations soru detayı:
SORU:
What sort of feminist approaches and debates are there in IR?
CEVAP:
There are different types of feminist approaches and debates in IR. Although these typologies are useful in that they present the perceptive distinctions between feminist approaches, it is stressed that this multi-character of feminism
in IR is likely to imperil its theoretical integrity (Friedman, 2001: 125). In a nutshell, the world of feminist thinking compromises liberal, socialist and Marxist, radical, postmodern, constructivist, postcolonial, and cultural feminism. Furthermore, feminism in IR is also analyzed epistemologically within three categories: empirical, analytical, and normative. According to True, feminist IR, through empirical, analytical and normative epistemologies, aims to deconstruct and transform the mainstream hypotheses and main IR concepts formulated in a
sexist manner, subordinating women to a secondary level (2001).
