Abstract/Summary
From the past until the present, major IR events were predominantly explained and analyzed through the realist theory and the September 11 (9/11) incident is no exception. Realism made, once again, comprehensible that the states played a major role during the terrorist attacks and the “War Against Terror.†While this is true to some extent, realism cannot give us a holistic view of IR events since it is patriarchal and gender biased. This paper tries to explain the 9/11 event through another perspective aside from the mainstream view by using the liberal feminism lens and further expounds how liberal feminism can be a viable alternative to “malestream†realism.
