(WGSS 012) Sex, Power and International Politics

4 Credits

This course introduces gender as an important category of analysis in the study of international politics. Mainstream scholarship typically overlooks how international processes like war, globalization, and economic development affect people differently according to their gender. Additionally, women have historically had limited access to foreign policymaking processes, which may affect policy outcomes. In this course, we will focus on these aspects of gender in international politics to gain a richer understanding of contemporary global issues. Attribute/Distribution: CC, SS, SW
