Queer International Relations

Queer International Relations (IR) is not a new field.For more than 20 years, Queer IR scholarship has focused on how normativities and/or non-normativities associated with categories of sex, gender, and sexuality sustain and contest international formations of power in relation to institutions like heteronormativity, homonormativity, and cisnormativity as well as through queer logics of statecraft.Recently, Queer IR has gained unprecedented traction in IR, as IR scholars have come to recognize how Queer IR theory, methods, and research further IR's core agenda of analyzing and informing the policies and politics around state and nation formation, war and peace, and international political economy.
