Gender as a category of Colombian Foreign Policy Analysis
Keywords:
Foreign Policy Analysis Feminism Gender ColombiaAbstract
The article provides a gender approximation to foreign policy analysis using Colombia as a case study. It examines if women decision-makers think differently from men in regards to foreign policy, so as to evidence if there is a female-way of foreign policy making. Explicitly, the study hopes to lend some insight into the empirical consequences of gender in FPA, so as to present alternative theoretical tools for International Relations research making. Thus, by inquiring how gender shapes how diplomats perceive foreign policy, the study expounds its empirical findings into the feminist theoretical debates.Downloads
