This introduction provides an overview of feminist approaches to International
Relations. The authors compare the Anglo-American debate with the Germanspeaking
discussion in order to reveal similarities and differences. They identify
three particular areas of research that characterize the German-speaking feminist
debate in International Relations: <br><br>(1) works evolving out of peace studies; (2) research
on globalization and international economic institutions; (3) studies focusing on
women’s movements together with most current works centering around international
norms. They argue that feminist approaches to norms constitute a particularly
promising research area which provides new "tools" to account for international,
regional or domestic policy-change. Gender-sensitive research on norms also allows
to address ethical questions that are vital for feminist understandings of science.<br>
Moreover, this new focus on norms enables bridge-building between feminism and
the mainstream.
