Feminist Methodologies for International Relations

by Brooke A. Ackerly (Editor), Maria Stern (Editor), Jacqui True (Editor)

Why is feminist research carried out in international relations (IR)? What are the methodologies and methods that have been developed in order to carry out this research? Feminist Methodologies for International Relations offers students and scholars of IR, feminism, and global politics practical insight into the innovative methodologies and methods that have been developed - or adapted from other disciplinary contexts - in order to do feminist research for IR. Both timely and timeless, this volume makes a diverse range of feminist methodological reflections wholly accessible. Each of the twelve contributors discusses aspects of the relationships between ontology, epistemology, methodology, and method, and how they inform and shape their research. This important and original contribution to the field will both guide and stimulate new thinking.

D'Costa comparte el objetivo que todas las internacionalistas que adhieren a la teoría feminista de las RRII comparten: "I imagine anfirst-year IR class following a compulsory course called Gender and IR.”. Este es el disparador de este gran libro, es una caja de herramientas para aquellas que, como yo, quieran aplicar este marco teorico para entender a la mujer situada en la sociedad internacional. Desconozco la actual currícula de la disciplina en paises anglosajones pero en Argentina todavía no hay materias obligatorias de género y RRII, tampoco son mencionados con mucho énfasis en el ISEN. Así que nuestra tarea es poner el esfuerzo de estudiar más alla de la currícula, ver más alla del sesgo patriarcal y comenzar a ver a la mujer como un actor activo del sistema internacional. Por eso y mas agradezco a estas autoras, cinco estrellas.
