Much has been written on how masculinity shapes international relations. This volume asserts that international politics shapes multiple masculinities rather than one static masculinity. Hooper reconstructs the nexus of international relations and gender politics during this age of globalization.
"Contributes to the theoretical development of international relations and is important reading for those interested in the challenge of incorporating gender into the field… This book will engage scholars interested in issues of gender identity and globalization apparent in popular culture" – International Affairs "Hooper draws conceptual, normative, and discursive parallels between the discipline of international relations and its practice in real life… fascinating… excellent." – International History Review "Crucial for illuminating the current contests between and among hegemonic and subordinated masculinities now in play." – International Politics "With the publication of this text Hooper joins the first rank of scholars using interdisciplinary tools to investigate questions of manhood and power." – Matthew Basso, Signs
