RESISTING LAZY POLITICAL ANALYSIS: CRAFTING A FEMINIST CURIOSITY TO MAKE SENSE OF INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

Summary/Abstract: Before I started to ask feminist questions, I thought I was grappling with enough complexity to make adequate sense of international politics. When I investigated the post-colonial politics of Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, I asked about class; I asked about ideology; I asked about race and ethnicity; I asked about rubber, sugar, tin and the state. When I dug into the politics of state militaries, I tracked the ethnic identities of rank and file soldiers, as well as of their officers; I kept an eye on each military force over several generations; and I monitored the often tense, sometimes intimate relations between any state’s military and its multiple police forces.
