At the beginning of the 21st century, women are no longer an invisible force in international politics. What is still largely unclear, however, are the political and intellectual processes at work. In Braig/Woelte's book, male and female writers, academics and practitioners from North and South signal the importance of women and women's movements for international relations and show where and how they have made a mark in areas such as development, human rights and conflict management. The book discusses ways in which the women's movement could influence the agenda of international politics. The essential challenge, the editors believe, lies in intervening without undermining the movement's sociocritical potential. (orb)
