International Relations in a Global Age Reviews

a Sophisticated yet accessible, Youngsa book clarifies even as she recasts key debates on the meaning of states and sovereignty. Through a close reading of mainstream and critical theorists, Youngs delivers a consolidated -- and compelling -- indictment of state--centrism as dogmatically and dangerously out--of--place in the context of global relations. Moreover, through explication of feminist and postcolonial work, Youngs offers important guideposts for mapping new directions in post--statist theory.a V. Spike Peterson, Department of Political Science, University of Arizona a 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.a The Canadian Journal of Political Science a The particular strength of Youngsa s book is the way it relates the question of spatiality to those of feminist theories of the social ... Youngsa s critique of the patriarchal paradigm dominating IRa s and IPEa s contributions to the debate of globalization is significant and sophisticated.a SIGNS This book is an example of what feminism in international relations can be like and what it intends to be.
