Reviews / Votes
Anhand der Forschungen zu Sicherheitsfragen sowie zur politischen Ökonomie zeigt [Bayes], dass die feministische Forschung wichtige Beiträge geleistet hat, um klassische Perspektiven auf kriegerische Konflikte und den homo oeconomicus durch die Geschlechterperspektive zu erweitern und die Forschung dafür zu sensibilisieren. Der Sammelband bietet daher einen erfrischend anderen Einblick in die politikwissenschaftliche Geschlechterforschung.Pw-portal.de, 27.11.2014
