Feminist Ethics and Political Violence

In: International politics: a journal of transnational issues and global problems, Band 44, Heft 1, S. 90-106

Abstract

This paper argues that the debates between different ethical perspectives within feminism cannot be resolved in principle. Nevertheless, these debates point to a different feminist way of thinking about ethics in world politics. This feminist perspective puts the distinction between 'ethics' and 'world politics' into question in relation to feminism's defining concern with the sources and effects of women's oppression.
