Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The end of the Cold War, globalisation and 9/11 signify high points in the move towards greater convergence between security studies and peace studies. This cross-fertilisation is viewed as positive, since it has increased the range of voices participating in the inter-disciplinary dialogue. The paper examines the risks and benefits associated with the role feminist scholarship plays in this regard. It not only offers an alternative vision of security and power through the lens of gender, but also presents a view of global security as being representative of a whole range of experiences, including those of women. For instance, in the human security discourse a feminist analysis exposes the dangers of co-option and perceived gender neutrality. The paper thus challenges the notion that a comprehensive unified theory of security should be the ultimate goal and argues that feminist methodologies can promote responsible theory pluralism and theoretical progress in IR by making the various security discourses more reflective of their own normative assumptions and political commitments.
