Write an essay considering the contributions of peace studies and feminism to the study of international relations and the obstacles they have overcome. Use current and concrete examples to support your claim.

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal answer should include:
1. Outline the concepts of peace studies and feminism.
2. Compare and contrast the two concepts and explain how each affects study of the international system. If possible, students should cite examples-for instance, of the role of arbitration and world government, on the one hand, and the gender gap and women in the military, on the other hand-to illustrate their explanations.
3. Explain how obstacles to these two concepts have been overcome. Students should touch on particular examples, such as how the leadership change in the British government (and the prime minister's idea of Britain's place in the international community) explains Britain's increased funding of the war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, or the integration of women into the world's militaries.
4. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.
