CARVALLO PONCE, Pedro M.. Gender, Postmodernism, and International Relations: the feminine identity in the discourse of International organizations. CONfines relacion. internaci. ciencia política [online]. 2006, vol.2, n.3, pp.89-100. ISSN 1870-3569.

This paper focuses on gender from the perspective of the study of international relations, specifically on the discourse of the United Nations. The author argues that gender relations are defined in the discourse of international organizations, and that this definition has a positive association with changes in identity within different historical contexts. The article provides a review of gender identity, emphasizing change and stability as well as an examination of the importance of the emergence of gender in the study of international relations. Finally, using a critical standpoint, the author presents the identity put forth by the discourse of the UN.
