This book is a major new contribution to our understanding of
war and international relations (IR). Divided into two sections,
the first part surveys the state of war and war studies in
international relations, security studies and in feminist
international relations. The second part addresses a missing area
of IR studies of war that feminism is well-placed to fill in: the
emotional and physical aspects of war.
The author examines a wide variety of conflict situations, such
as the Israel/Palestine dispute, the Cold War, Vietnam, Nicaragua,
wars of liberation in Africa, genocidal war in Rwanda; humanitarian
interventionist war in the Balkans, the recent wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq and the 'war on terror'.
Drawing on the latest feminist thinking, the author demonstrates
how war is experienced as a body-based politics and in so doing
provides an innovative and challenging corrective to traditional
theories of war in international relations. This will be essential
reading for all those with an interest in gender, war and
international relations.
