"Bananas, Beaches, Bases"

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper examines Enloe's writing in which she presents a feminist view of international politics. She argues that its
landscape, typically thought of as a masculine sphere of life, in reality is less exclusively male. To support that view, she defines the international as personal and goes beyond the traditional formulation of masculinized international politics. It shows how Enloe argues that men in foreign relations depend on the artificial construction of femininity and masculinity as well as on the artificial division between domestic and public realms.
