Feminist Theory Web Site http://www.cddc.vt.edu/feminism/ The Center for Digital Discourse and Culture at Virginia Tech University hosts the award-winning Feminist Theory Web Site. This site provides one of the most extensive lists of research materials and information for students, activists, and scholars interested in women’s conditions and struggles around the world, with a staggering 5,425 bibliographical entries and 593 links to other Internet sites. Its stated goals are to encourage research and dialogue between individuals in different countries around the world. True to its international focus, the site can be accessed in English, Spanish, or French. Those interested can read complete bibliographies from various fields as well as obtain information on women’s movements and activities anywhere in the world. As noted in this chapter, much literature on world politics has ignored the plight and contributions of women. This Web site will undoubtedly contribute to remedying this situation. Niccoló Machiavelli http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/macv.htm The writings of Niccoló Machiavelli (1469–1527) are often cited as the base of realist thinking in international relations. As this chapter explains, the realist worldview is primarily concerned with a state’s drive for power. Visit this site for a complete informational resource on Machiavelli’s life and times. There is also a link to his famous book on how to rule, The Prince, which you can read on-line. President Woodrow Wilson http://gi.grolier.com/presidents/aae/bios/28pwils.html As Chapter 2 notes, Woodrow Wilson’s celebrated Fourteen Points speech before a joint session of Congress on January 8, 1918 "expressed the sentiments of the liberal world view and program." The Academic American Encyclopedia, produced by Grolier Online, features this speech along with information on Wilson’s life and times. Take a moment to read the Fourteen Points. In retrospect, did Wilson’s speech aim to prevent another war or establish American international dominance in a new world order? Which philosophy do you think underlies current U.S. foreign policy, liberalism or realism?
