The Man Question in International Relations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zalewski, Marysia / Parpart, Jane L. / *, Editor, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, International relations is still very much a man's field. Questioning and problematizing the subjecthood of men, this book of twelve original essays examines the various ways in which masculinities are implicated in international relations theories and practices. The contributors argue that if the subject of international relations is constructed around men and masculinity, then perhaps destabilizing the subject of "man" will help destabilize the whole field in ways that "adding women and stirring" has not. The feminist modern project of bringing attention to women can paradoxically highlight the fluidity of the subject of woman rather than reveal the solidity of her position, however illusory.

Henry VIII

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Graves, Michael A., PUBLISHER: Longman Publishing Group, Few historical figures are as familiar as King Henry VIII. Few kings have popular images created out of so much misinformation: that he was short, had six wives and a legion of mistresses, contracted syphilis and became a Protestant. Henry was a maze of contradictions and the object of much contemporary praise and criticism, adulation and condemnation. He had impressive strengths but also formidable weaknesses, amongst them inconstancy, financial irresponsibility, and a capacity for brutality. At the same time, his rule was vibrant, often exciting and dramatic, and of major significance for England's future. Michael Graves examines this complex personality and sorts out the reality from the myths to provide a highly readable study of early modern kingship as practised by one man.
