CEVAP:

J. Ann Tickner is an Anglo-American feminist IR theorist whose works predomin-antly argue that IR theories and practices connote “gender inequality”; and hence there are “gendered perceptions” in IR concealed by the claimed notions of “gender neutrality” and “objectivity” (Tickner, 2014; 2005; 2001; 1999; 1997; 1992). In that respect, Tickner became famous for her attempts to challenge the mainstream IR theories and through her contributions to the sub-discipline of feminist IR by projecting innovative theoretical debates and introducing new areas of analysis (Narain, 2014). In her work Gender in International Relations:
Feminist Perspectives on Achieving Global Security, Tickner applies various feminist perspectives to international politics and calls to mind the constructive criticisms of mainstream IR theories such as realism, liberalism and Marxism. Tickner persistently claims that there are gender differences and inequalities in the formation of “state identities” and “citizen responsibilities”; and therefore, they should be integrated in the analytical framework of IR studies (Tickner, 1992).
