Perspective of gender(s) and feminisms in the field of International Relations.

Ibero American trajectories, identifications and perspectives

Abstract

Critical feminist perspectives in the field of International Relations, still remain on the margins of the discipline, in conflict with the speeches and orthodox epistemic positions of the Global North where the discipline emerged and exports the majoritiy of the theoretical knowledge.

This work is situated in the critical studies on academic dependency to analyze the ways in which the perspectives of gender (s) and feminisms circulate in and from the Ibero-American countries into the field of International Relations.

Under this premise, in this first stage we set out to quantitatively describe the particularities of the circulation of knowledge in the South and to consider whether it is possible to speak -or not- of an epistemic community with its own claims and conceptualizations. In order to do that we address the articles with a gender perspective (447) published in the open access Ibero-American journals of International Relations (236) indexed on the Latindex platform (13.809) during the last ten years (2009-2019).
