In Gendering the International, the contributors explore the different
ways of analyzing gender in international studies beyond the
state-centric perspective of International Relations (IR). They
demonstrate that it is possible to think about 'the international'
beyond the traditional framework of IR. They contend IR is a set of
gendered practices, by critically examining ways in which gender
discourses are deployed in the analyses of 'the international'.
Furthermore, they reflect on the interactions between gender and
globalizing forces in a post-colonial environment.
