The authors argue that, willingly or unwillingly, feminist perspectives on international law have come to be situated between 'resistance' and 'compliance'. That is, feminist scholarship aims at deconstructing international law to show why and how 'women' have been marginalised; at the same time feminists have been largely unwilling to challenge the core of international law and its institutions, remaining hopeful of international law's potential for women. The analysis is clustered around three themes: the first part, theory and method, looks at how feminist perspectives on international law have developed and seeks to introduce new theoretical and methodological tools (especially through a focus on psychoanalysis and geography). The second part, national and international security, focuses on how feminists have situated themselves in relation to the current discourses of 'crisis', the post-9/11 NGO 'industry' and the changing discourses of violence against women. The third part, global and local justice, addresses some of the emerging trends in international law, focusing especially on transitional justice, state-building, trafficking and economic globalisation."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aOn?ati international series in law and society. 606 $aFeminist jurisprudence 606 $aInternational law$xSociological aspects 606 $aWomen (International law) 606 $2International law 615 0$aFeminist jurisprudence. 615 0$aInternational law$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aWomen (International law) 676 $a341.082 702 $aKouvo$b Sari 702 $aPearson$b Zoe$cDr, 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821366903321 996 $aFeminist perspectives on contemporary international law$91071996 997 $aUNINA
