Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The recent international shift towards a multipolar world has affected the conditions under which gender politics occurs. Most visibly, challenges to the global order have come from actors marginalized within it. Among them are states and peoples from the global South who have taken note of the current shift with the expectation that their international position might be re-negotiated. In comparison to a previous era, the aspirations are now primarily geared towards claiming development promises that have been made but not fulfilled. Africans have been Looking East, and the Chinese have been going out, creating new opportunities and challenges as they proceed.

Postcolonial studies have highlighted the uneven inclusion of the South in the global system. And contemporary debates on Africa-China relations have hinted at the changes that emanate from multipolarity. How they have dealt with questions around gendered international relations differs significantly though: whereas the former field has embraced gender perspectives, the latter seems impervious to them. They both, nevertheless, raise the question how those previously marginalized could possibly take centre stage in a more egalitarian world. The significant transnationalisation of global politics has brought to light the complex interplay of factors, agents and structures implicated in world politics. The seminar therefore tackles the overall question, which prospects negotiating multipolarity provides.
