<p>New&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/podcast/">#Podcast</a>&nbsp;Episode 💜How can we shift from realist to feminist view of an IR case study if we are excluding ourselves from the conversation?</p> <p>In this episode we explore:</p> <p>✨What is realist view of the UAE-Israel normalization ties talks? A US Foreign Policy approach.</p> <p>✨What are the power dynamics at play on the recent development of Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the decentralization of Egypt as key player in the region?</p> <p>✨What is the long-term vision of the Trump Administration and looming Nobel Peace Prize nomination?</p> <p>✨Are we seeing the continuity of hegemonic masculinity domination of war and (negative) peace cultures?</p> <p>✨Why are gender and feminist approaches to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict mainly focusing on dominant-dominated practices in national liberation movements and NOT addressing fully structural gender violence?</p> <p>✨Where is the analysis on state behaviors and gendered notions of hegemonic masculine power in this part of the world?</p> <p>✨Where are the women?</p> <p>✨Why are female IR experts excluding and condemning each other from analyzing high level and male-dominated conflicts?</p> <p>✨Why do female IR researchers have to talk about controversial case studies in informal and even hidden gatherings?</p> <p>✨Where are we listening to each other?</p> <p>✨Which are the public spaces women are opening to each other to recognize and validate their knowledge?</p> <p>✨Why women have to be honest about their cultural and educational backgrounds in order to analyze IR but we don’t ask or expect male analysts to do the same?</p> <p>💜Join us in this exploration of the work and support our community in Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nataliabonillaprojects</p> <p><strong>Recommended links on this episode:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/09/11/trump-extends-arab-push-normalize-ties-with-israel-sudan/"><strong>https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/09/11/trump-extends-arab
