AbstractFictional universes can be treated as discrete units of analysis in which we see the operation of international relations theory. This article discusses insights gleaned from a course created at Sonoma State University called "Gender and Geopolitics in Science Fiction and Fantasy," in which feminist theory and international relations approaches are integrated, and science fiction and fantasy texts serve as the mechanism through which to examine the key themes and questions. This article provides an overview of the pedagogy to highlight the usefulness of speculative fiction in teaching. Each of the fictional universes is treated as a separate system where gender and political dynamics manifest in ways that observers of international relations will recognize. The core texts are Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Jessica Jones, Star Trek, Misfits, and Watchmen. The major theories and approaches explored here have implications for gender studies and feminist theory, the concepts of metaphor and allegory, and game theory.

"Zwei disparate Entwicklungen prägen die heutige Weltordnung: Die unipolare Dominanz der USA einerseits, die wachsende Bedeutung globaler Normen andererseits. Zusammen betrachtet, ergibt sich das Bild eines rechtlich stratifizierten Mehrebenensystems, in dem das Grundprinzip des Rule of Law - souveräne Gleichheit - unterminiert wird." (Autorenreferat)
