COURSE DEFINITION	The course deals with the conjunction points between International Relations and Gender Studies. The mainstream theoretical perspectives of international relations have not covered the gender phenomenon. However, the acknowledgement of gender as a variable cutting across national, regional and international levels has contributed to the political perspectives towards international politics and policy suggestions. This contribution comprises the general scope of this course. From this point of view, the main themes of the International Relations discipline are analyzed by the analytical tools provided by the Gender Perspective.
