An Analysis of Economics in International Law Using the Feminist Theory

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze why and how gender issues matter in international economic law by applying Feminist theory. For this purpose, the paper begins with a short account of Feminist theory of international law. However, even though Feminist theorists are trying to elaborate the most effective methodology that can serve better in protecting women’s rights, there is no single Feminist approach to the international law and economics. Therefore, this paper goes further by examining Feminist Method(s) in international law. Lastly, international economic discourse in international law will critically be examined through the application of feminist theories to international economics.
