Summary:
The book is a follow-up to the influential volume,The 'Man' Question in International Relations. This new edition aims to integrate masculinity studies and feminist theorizing by analyzing white male privilege within international relations, the role of masculinity within the theory and practice of war and masculinity in an increasingly militarized world. It looks at how the theories and practice of masculinitynbsp;affect international issues. Using a global approach it covers contemporary and cutting-edge issues and themes, including chapters on the cyborg soldier, post-traumatic stress and the hyper-masculine Muslim male.
