Regardless of whether or not one views gender as mainstream, or marginal - both within the academic study of IR and in the practice of international relations - it is apparent that gender issues have gained significant visibility in contemporary politics and require informed research and analysis. The idea of a 'gender-sensitive foreign policy' as a multidimensional policy framework that aims to include women's experiences has also been gaining traction. With a collection of eighteen papers by eminent scholars and practitioners, this volume is an attempt to determine and understand what can be the unique contribution of Indian feminist scholarship to International Relations. The volume looks at how ideas of gender shape and are shaped by global politics while also focusing on how gender features in the contemporary diplomatic agenda with respect to Indian foreign policy. It discusses the significance of gender in the study and practice of international relations and how should India position itself on gender in national, regional, and global debates involving issues of development, security, human rights, and culture.
