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.' \u003ci\u003eV.

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.
