This timely collection reviews the field of gender and politics and its relationship to the discipline of political science at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The authors recognize and document the Eurocentric focus that has characterized both fields and suggest viable alternatives for the future.

This volume identifies major questions raised by scholars in several regions of the world and summarizes so-me of their findings.This truly global collection acknowledges the different nature of gender and politics as a field of study in regions beyond the European and Anglo-American academic realm. Four major approaches are presented by contributors from Latin America, Africa, South Asia, Europe, the United States and Oceania.

Anhand der Forschungen zu Sicherheitsfragen sowie zur politischen Ökonomie zeigt [Bayes], dass die feministische Forschung wichtige Beiträge geleistet hat, um klassische Perspektiven auf kriegerische Konflikte und den homo oeconomicus durch die Geschlechterperspektive zu erweitern und die Forschung dafür zu sensibilisieren. Der Sammelband bietet daher einen erfrischend anderen Einblick in die politikwissenschaftliche Geschlechterforschung.
