Sinds het einde van de jaren '80 heeft de feministische theorievorming een explosieve groei doorgemaakt in de Leer der Internationale Betrekkingen. Toch slagen feministische theoretici er volgens Van Lamoen niet in vruchtbare, inhoudelijke debatten aan te knopen met hun collega's in de mainstream discipline, en vinden hun inzichten maar met mondjesmaat ingang. De oorzaak van deze gebrekkige communicatie is te zoeken in de epistemologische uitgangspunten waarop de verschillende groepen wetenschappers zich in hun onderzoek baseren. De auteur zoekt een oplossing in de ontwikkeling van één gemeenschappelijk kennisverwervingsmodel, waarin ruimte wordt gecreëerd voor open discussies tussen verschillende stromingen en perspectieven. De basis van dit model ontleent zij aan de feministische wetenschapshistorica Donna Haraway, die stelt dat iedere vorm van kennis slechts een partieel perspectief op de werkelijkheid biedt. Van Lamoen meent dat er naast de gangbare toetsing op de interne en externe consistentie van theorieën, in de wetenschap ook aandacht moet worden besteed aan sociaal-politieke criteria. Zij benadrukt het belang van een uitbreiding van het aantal perspectieven van waaruit de werkelijkheid wordt geanalyseerd, zeker in een dynamisch onderzoeksveld als de internationale betrekkingen.

Civilization and progress, Gilded Age Americans believed, were inseparable from Anglo-Saxon heritage and Christianity. In rising to become the first Asian and non-Christian world power, Meiji Japan (1868-1912) challenged this deeply-held conviction, and in so doing threatened racial and cultural hierarchies central to American ideology and foreign policy. To reconcile Japan's stature with American notions of Western supremacy, both nations embarked on an active campaign to construct an identity for the Japanese which would recognize Japan's progress and abilities without threatening America

In this timely collection, a dozen leading scholars of international affairs consider the twentieth century's recurring failure to construct a stable and peaceful international order in the wake of war. Why has peace been so hard to build? The authors reflect on the difficulties faced by governments as they sought a secure world order after the First World War, the Second World War, and the Cold War.Major wars unleashed new and unexpected forces, the authors show, and in post-war periods policymakers were faced not only with the reappearance of old power-political issues but also with quite unforeseen challenges. In 1918, a hundred-year-old order based on a balance of power among the states of Europe collapsed, leaving European and American leaders to deal with social, ideological, and ethnic crises. After World War II, hopeful plans for peace were checked by nuclear rivalry, international economic competition, and colonial issues. And unexpected challenges after the Cold War-global economic instability, ethnic conflict, environmental crises-joined with traditional security threats to cast a pall again over international peace efforts. In drawing out historical parallels and comparing how major states have adapted to sharp and sudden changes in the international system during the twentieth century, this book offers essential insights for those who hope to navigate toward peace across today's altered and uncertain strategic landscape.Contributors to this volume:Carole Fink, Gregory Flynn, William I.
