The third edition of Jill Steans’ popular and highly
respected text offers a comprehensive and up to date introduction
to gender in international relations today. Its nine chapters have
been fully revised and expanded to cover key issues, developments
and debates in the field including:
* the state and citizenship
* gender, sexuality and human rights
* conflict, peace and security
* narratives and representational practices in international
politics
* global political economy
* development and gender in global governance
Guiding students competently through complex theoretical and
conceptual issues, the book is careful to ground its discussions in
contemporary concerns, such as the War on Terror and its legacy,
the ‘securitisation’ of human rights, the Arab Spring,
the global financial crisis, contemporary challenges to global
institutions, and ethical dilemmas that arise in negotiating gender
issues and politics in a culturally diverse world. Each chapter
features questions for reflection, seminar activities, further
reading and web links to highlight key points and provide
contemporary illustrations. A glossary of key terms is also
included for easy reference.
Gender and International Relations will be essential
reading for students and scholars of gender, international
relations, global politics and related courses.
