Abstract

The essays in the Feminist Theory and Gender Studies (FTGS) section of the compendium are organized into the introduction; essays on the meaning-making, theory, and practice of feminist research and pedagogy in International Relations (IR); essays addressing questions of how gender relates to aspects of war, conflict, and peace; essays addressing gender and governance, democracy, and human rights; and essays in feminist International Political Economy. These essays have significant overlapping bibliography even though they take up substantively different topics. The shared bibliography creates a foundation for present and future conversations across substantive areas of inquiry in Feminist IR.
