Title: “Feminist Perspectives on Women in Positions of Power in International Relations: A Critical Analysis of J. Ann Tickner’s ‘Why Women Can’t Run the World’”

As we have seen in the readings and the lectures, feminist approaches to the study of international relations are typically guided by one of three empirical questions:
Would the world itself be different if more women held positions of power?
Would our view of the world be different if more women were engaged in the development of I.R. as a field?
Do women face unique problems in “the stuff” of International Relations?
