Abstract

Feminism is a critical social and political movement who first emerged at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth with women's claims of equal rights in society and in the political sphere, with the right of vote. But now, since approximately the end of the 1980's, feminist theories have begun to appear in the realm of international relations underlying the fact that 'IR is one of the most masculinists of disciplines in its personnel and its understanding of states, wars and markets' . Therefore, they focus not only on the position of women but also on the notion of gender arguing that today's perception of worlds politic is distorted by a 'gender-lens' which perpetuates a system were men are advantaged. But can these feminist approaches be relevant in the study of world politics? Do they provide effective explanations on current international relation's key issues and notions such are state, war or peace?
