Feminist theory and gender perspectives as a perspective for the soft interpretation of international relations

Abstract

This paper aims to deal with the marginalization that women have suffered from in various fields, whether at the theoretical or practical levels in the international field, as a motive to make the gender dimension a distinct analytical tool that demonstrates the severe shortcomings in various theories and practical practices that are biased towards masculine values ​​and qualities, in the prospect of foreseeing  the international field and the resulting contribution of women's inclusion in the transnational theorizing process.  In search of the desired addition in the science of international relations based on the foundations of global gender?

This problem will be deconstructed through three main axes, as the first will deal with  the theoretic center of feminism in the international field and the foundations of its establishment, based on the assumption that the field of international relations suffers from gender blindness, and therefore international relations theorists need to use the lenses of gender in order to rethink on the study and theorizing of international relations. and from that; this trend focuses on the differences between men and women in looking at international security issues and international interactions, and believes that a noticeable increase in women's participation can change the nature of the international system by making it more secure and stable.

While the second axis will attempt to approach the soft perspective of the international system in contrast to the premises of the traditional theories of the international field, According to  the horizon of evaluating the feminist theory of the international field in the third axis, from the ontological sides by including women as an actor in international relations, and epistemology by creating hypotheses of their own.
