In this provocative new book, Shritha Vasudevan argues that
feminist international relations (IR) theory has inadvertently
resulted in a biased worldview, the very opposite of what feminist
IR set out to try to rectify. This book contests theoretical
presumptions of Western feminist IR and attempts to reformulate it
in contexts of non-Western cultures. Vasudevan deftly utilizes the
theoretical constructs of IR to explore the ramifications for
India. This hypothesis argues that the Convention on the
Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)
has predictive validity and is not a top-down norm but derived from
the material and contingent experiences of nation states. This book
enters the debate between feminist qualitative and quantitative IR
through the lens of gender-based violence (GBV) under the CEDAW.
