'One of the real strengths of this book is not only the breadth
of questions which it explores, but its integration throughout of
feminist modes of analysis . She successfully uses feminist
approaches to both foreground and background her analysis - making
it a book which will be of interest to the reader looking for
feminist critiques of IR, but also to the reader looking to see how
feminism fits into the larger array of critical approaches to the
study of IR. This is a readable and engaging book which provides a
sophisticated critique of state-centrism and a plausible
alternative way of thinking about global politics in an age of
globalization. It is highly recommended.' The Canadian Journal
of Political Science
'The particular strength of Youngs's book is the way it relates
the question of spatiality to those of feminist theories of the
social ... Youngs's critique of the patriarchal paradigm dominating
IR's and IPE's contributions to the debate of globalization is
significant and sophisticated.' SIGNS
"This book is an example of what feminism in international relations can be like and what it intends to be." Journal of International Relations and Development
