ABSTRACT

Systemism as a method for the study of Canadian foreign defence policy offers an opportunity for fruitful collaboration across theoretical and methodological subdivisions in the field. In particular, the approach could provide an excellent method through which to showcase feminist causal logic for a more mainstream audience, which tends to view feminist scholarship as being far removed from its concerns and policy-relevant Canadian foreign policy. This review offers a somewhat idiosyncratic assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of systemism as presented in this special issue of CFPJ. I discuss how I see myself using sytemism as a writing and teaching tool in the future.

摘要

系统主义作为研究加拿大外交政策的一种方法，为该领域理论和方法学细分领域的富有成效的合作提供了机会。特别是，这种方法可以提供一种极好的方法，通过它向更主流的受众展示女权主义的因果逻辑，他们往往认为女权主义学术与其关注的问题和与政策相关的加拿大外交政策相去甚远。这篇评论对CFPJ特刊中介绍的系统主义的优点和缺点进行了一些特殊的评估。我讨论了我如何看待自己在未来使用系统主义作为写作和教学工具。
