Abstract

As a form of interaction, states creates international institutions such as World Trade Organization (WTO), European Union (EU), United Nations (UN), etc. Under these institutions, there will be competition of interest, according to neo-realism or effort for cooperation among states, as neo-liberalism says. However, in a system where exist a group of states, namely developing states, that are lacking in tangible power, how do they belong in this system of international institution? Facts shows that these states are dominated in the institution and even repressed from their own will. Due this reasoning, this research opens up an alternative thinking that could benefit for developing countries in times like this; a post-feminist approach. Post-feminism as a part of reflective theories contemplates upon the oppresive thinking that has majorly contributed in IR and reflect it back for developing countries readers, or interested readers in general, on how to go about thinking in times of oppression, repression, and domination. The case study used in this research is World Trade Organization and the dispute between one power symbol in the organizations, United States against many developing countries.
