Feminist International Relations is a new title in the Routledge
Major Works series, Critical Concepts in International Relations.
Edited by Christine Sylvester, a leading scholar in the field, it
is a five-volume collection which brings together the best and most
influential cutting-edge and canonical feminist IR scholarship.
Feminist International Relations can be seen as a project by
feminists to influence international relations both as a set of
practices (e.g. war, diplomacy, terrorism, aid, and trade) and as a
set of theories (such as realism, liberal institutionalism, and
constructivism). Adopting a combined thematic and chronological
structure, the collection brings together the work of indisputable
luminaries in this project, as well as vital research from new
generations of scholars.
Volumes I and II ( Muses ) cover the years before 1985 and
collects key works that influenced early feminist IR thinking. Work
from women s studies, philosophy, history, sociology, and the
history of science is included here. Volume III ( 1985 96 ) brings
together the most important earliest recognizably feminist IR
writings from that period. The fourth volume in the collection (
Wider Influences ) gathers the best of newer writings from cognate
fields and from the rise of cultural theory, postcolonial studies,
and gay and lesbian studies. The final volume ( 1997 2009 ) focuses
on scholarship produced from the mid-1990s to the present day,
material that is characterized by a broadening of themes,
geographical interests, and theories.
With comprehensive introductions to each volume, newly written
by the editor, which place the collected material in its historical
and intellectual context, Feminist International Relations is an
essential collection destined to be valued by scholars and students
of IR and those working in cognate disciplines as a vital research
resource.
