- Description
- This volume theorizes the modern state and its intricate relationship to security, identity politics and gender, including scholars from International Relations (IR), Postcolonial Studies and Development Studies. First it answers whether the concept of a 'gendered state' is generic or if some states are particularly gendered in their identities and interests and with what implications for the type of citizenship, society and international security. Second it looks at the theoretical significance of the gendered state for current IR scholarship. Finally it explains to what extent postcolonial states are distinctive from metropolitan states with regard to gender. .
