"An excellent introductory study of feminist contributions to international relations theory-challenging in approach, and comprehensive in range." - Fred Halliday (London School of Economics and Political Science) "A wonderfully lucid and insightful overview of the rapidly growing body of feminist international relations scholarship. The author not only sensitizes the reader to differences among feminist approaches, but also clearly stakes out feminist international relations' place within the so-called Third Debate. In addition to providing a critique of the more traditional international relations concerns like the state, nation(alism), and security, the text addresses questions of development and global political economy as well." - Marianne Marchand (University of Amsterdam) "An excellent introductory study of feminist contributions to international relations theory-challenging in approach, and comprehensive in range." - Fred Halliday (London School of Economics and Political Science) "A wonderfully lucid and insightful overview of the rapidly growing body of feminist international relations scholarship.
