Gender in International Relations Paperback – April 15, 1992
Purchase options and add-ons
Demonstrating how a feminist perspective changes and expands our view of the global system, Tickner explores the ways in which the world economy has differentially rewarded men and women and reexamines the gender implications of modern mankind's domination over nature.
Tickner's review of gender differences in political, military, economic, and ecological relations offers a new view of the insecurities faced by women and men in world politics. Her feminist reconceptualization of security recasts recent theoretical efforts in international relations to construct more adequate security arrangements, both comprehensive and common.

Review
Tickner's book provides ways to begin to frame discomfort with this narrowly gender-conceived and yet oddly self-satisfied field of [international relations]. It features the new and the bold and the uninvestigated. It provides alternative points of departure for theory and impresses us with the amount of work feminist scholars have already done to clear the brush. Of utmost value, it tells of the many ways the field...needs feminist thinking to get its knowledge and priorities straight. -- Christine Sylvester, American Political Science Review

- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2002Tickner is required reading in many an IR course because of this book. Her style is accessible (ok for upperclassmen, not just grad students) and her organization is clear. In about 250 pages, Tickner takes the reader through a quick survey of the major issues in International Relations from a feminist perspective. She readily identifies different schools of feminist thought and comes off as committed, but not dogmatic. The book does not get into great depth, but does a great job of presenting feminist perspectives to people who have limited experience.
The specific areas covered are national security, economic security, ecological security, and global security. The first is designed to distinguish feminist perspective from the dominant IR paradigms. The last three develop feminist perspectives through their non-traditional conceptualizations of security. The index is good, making the book valuable as a reference. I held on to mine for years until a student "borrowed" it. It was getting ragged, anyway. For debaters, there is great ev here, this is the Tickner you've heard repeatedly cited. She's especially good for kritiks.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2015Excellent condition for the price!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2000Tickner does an excellent job of deconstructing the gendered connotations in international relations. The book makes you rethink the meaning of war, peace, power and environmental destruction in terms of the masculine vs. feminine interpretations. This book offers a wider perspective in the field of international relations. It makes for very interesting and refreshing reading.
