Bodies of Violence: Theorizing Embodied Subjects in International Relations - Oxford Studies in Gender and International Relations

According to conventional international relations theory, states or groups make war and, in doing so, kill and injure people that other states are charged with protecting. While it sees the perpetrators of violence as rational actors, it views those who are either protected or killed by this violence as mere bodies: ahistorical humans who breathe, suffer and die but have no particular political agency.
