Gendering International Security

Author

  • Dipti Tamang

Abstract

The concept of security in international relations is highly contested with interventions by different schools of thought challenging the dominant statecentric theorization and practice of the same. This article analyzes the feminist perspective of international security. In doing so, it reiterates the need to redefine security by broadening the contours of the subject matter of international relations. While practices like global policy seem to have incorporated a gender perspective, these shifts have not altered the practice of marginalization of gender issues and feminist theories in international politics. The argument of this article, therefore, is that a feminist perspective of security is essential to bridge this gap between theory and practice.
