Features: Feminism, as a social thought and social practice, has garnered widespread attention from the world. As a social thought and movement, it has also attracted significant focus. As an emerging theory in international relations, it has become a dazzling and prominent field. The author of this book observes the transformative journey of the feminist movement and the intrinsic connection between feminism and the development of international relations theory from a postmodern perspective on international relations, proposing many thought-provoking theoretical viewpoints and methods. With the new perspective of contemporary feminist theory, this book comprehensively evaluates the major debates surrounding international relations, demonstrating that feminism has been integrated into the discourse of international relations. The author reveals the mysteries of how feminist theory influences our understanding of international relations. She elaborates on the feminist "dialogical" method that challenges the identity politics of international relations and embodies empathy, highlighting case studies such as the value approach of the British Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp and the efforts of Zimbabwean women in negotiating with international foundations for the development of local production cooperatives.
