AND THE FEMINISTS THEORIES AND THEIR COMPARATIVE
ANALYSIS.
The liberalism approach in the global politics leads in the different rejection of the power
politics which will act as the only possible source of outcome in the field of the international
relations strategy. The factor of liberalism will accentuate the different levels of the mutual
benefits across the nations in order to promote the global level of international cooperation. The
liberals believe that the international institutions play a very significant role for fostering the
cooperation level between the different states 1(Reno 2018).
The analytical approach of realism mainly has its focus on the ancient form of traditions
of the level of political thought. Realism can be referred to as the self-conscious movement in the
field of the study of the international relations that emerged in the mid-20th century. The theory
of classical realism is however cannot be referred as the coherent school of thought. This

various options according to their individual choices. The issues that are important to the liberal
approach of feminism that will include the different reproductive rights and the access to the
different abortion incidences to bring in the affordable healthcare to bring in the light to the
different frequency for the different domestic and the sexual violence cases against the women.
The oppression of women however does not provide a structural feature of the capitalistic
form of the economic system. The concept of education however will be responsible for the
structural aspect of the capitalistic form of the economy. Feminism in the radical aspect however
views that the society has a patriarchal aspect that primarily focus on the issues against the
patriarchal oppression against the women in the society. The radical feminists will not be able to

the various contexts of the tools of war and security where patriarchy remains the main focus.
The feminist critiques of the liberalism approach mainly address the existent economic
