Mapping Feminist International Relations in South Asia : Past and Present

This book provides a comprehensive overview of feminist international relations in South Asia.It highlights the key contentions, debates, and tensions in the field, and studies how the trajectory of feminist international relations in the region has been marked by dialogue, dissidence, and difference with the Global North.In doing so, the volume draws attention to different feminist histories, herstories, and differing ways of knowing, seeing, and doing global politics.It particularly foregrounds a feminist intersectional/ postcolonial lens to a diverse range of issues such as women, peace and the security agenda, populism and nationalism, militarism and militarisation, and underlines the rich textured contours of feminist epistemologies in South Asia.An important contribution, the book will be of great interest to scholars, teachers, and students of feminism, international relations, postcolonialism, women’s studies, gender studies, security studies, and South Asian studies.
