Feminist Security Studies: A Narrative Approach (PRIO New Security Studies)

This book rethinks security theory from a feminist perspective, illustrating what feminist security concerns are, why they remain outside the purview of security studies, and what can be done to address them more successfully through the development of a comprehensive theoretical framework. It constitutes a major contribution to the fields of security studies and feminist IR, uniquely engaging feminism, security, and strategic studies. While furthering theoretical and normative questions posed by feminists, it is based on security as it has been theorized in the field of IR. In gathering materials from the emerging field of feminist security studies, the book develops a comprehensive framework for the field. As such, it will be the work that scholars, students, and practitioners will turn to for years to come.Wibben, Annick is the author of 'Feminist Security Studies: A Narrative Approach (PRIO New Security Studies)', published 2009 under ISBN 9780415457286 and ISBN 0415457289.
