Rethinking the Man Question: Sex, Gender and Violence in International Relations

by Jane L. Parpart (Editor), Marysia Zalewski (Editor)

This new edition aims to integrate masculinity studies and feminist theorizing by analyzing white male privilege within International Relations, the role of masculinity within the theory and practice of war and masculinity in an increasingly militarized world. It looks at how the theories and practice of masculinity impact on international issues. Using a global approach, with empirical chapters on South Africa, Zimbabwe, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, India and the Middle East, it covers contemporary and cutting-edge issues and themes, including chapters on the cyborg soldier, post-traumatic stress and the hyper-masculine Muslim male.
