Book description

Why is feminist research carried out in international relations (IR)? What are the methodologies and methods that have been developed in order to carry out this research? Feminist Methodologies for International Relations offers students and scholars of IR, feminism, and global politics practical insight into the innovative methodologies and methods that have been developed - or adapted from other disciplinary contexts - in order to do feminist research for IR. Both timely and timeless, this volume makes a diverse range of feminist methodological reflections wholly accessible. Each of the twelve contributors discusses aspects of the relationships between ontology, epistemology, methodology, and method, and how they inform and shape their research. This important and original contribution to the field will both guide and stimulate new thinking.

Reviews

'This volume presents a marvellous account of feminist methodologies … This edited volume is instructive in illuminating feminist methodologies and in highlighting the insights gained from them … it takes a difficult topic and should serve as a catalyst for further debate.'

Source: Perspectives on Politics

' … a thoroughly satisfying book that manages to integrate a diverse range of feminist IR scholarship without forcing it into a straitjacket. It is an important teaching tool, showing the rigor of feminist methods and providing helpful guideposts to those who venture onto the terrain of feminist international relations. It should be required reading in every IR graduate methodology course.'

'This book provides excellent feminist scholarship for IR and other 'sister' disciplines such as development studies.'

'This is an important book, especially for International Relations students who are intending to conduct empirical research on women … and therefore the book's primary audience must be first-year postgraduates in IR.'
