Asked about queer work in international relations, most IR scholars
would almost certainly answer that queer studies is a non-issue for
the subdiscipline - a topic beyond the scope and understanding of
international politics. Yet queer work tackles problems that IR
scholars themselves believe are central to their discipline:
questions about political economies, the geopolitics of war and
terror, and the national manifestations of sexual, racial, and
gendered hierarchies, not to mention their implications for empire,
globalization, neoliberalism, sovereignty, and terrorism. And since
the introduction of queer work in the 1980s, IR scholars have used
queer concepts like "performativity" or "crossing" in relation to
important issues like sovereignty and security without
acknowledging either their queer sources or their queer function.
This agenda-setting book asks how "sexuality" and "queer" are
constituted as domains of international political practice and
mobilized so that they bear on questions of state and nation
formation, war and peace, and international political economy. How
are sovereignty and sexuality entangled in contemporary
international politics? What understandings of sovereignty and
sexuality inform contemporary theories and foreign policies on
development, immigration, terrorism, human rights, and regional
integration? How specifically is "the homosexual" figured in these
theories and policies to support or contest traditional
understandings of sovereignty? Queer International Relations puts
international relations scholarship and transnational/global queer
studies scholarship in conversation to address these questions and
their implications for contemporary international politics.
