International politics and international relations are identic with the masculine world. Vast majority of diplomat, soldiers and international organization staffs are man, and only small percentage of them are female. This condition made international relations activities, in political, law-making, diplomacy, war and peace are describe from male point of view and from male sensitivity. Duty to defend national interests is associate with men during war to defend glory and honor. In many cultures war heroes are highly respected and honored in world history. Sacrifice in war also considered as the highest form of patriotism. an act where women position is aside. If this description is remain, global issues and international politics would merely focused on realist point of view. that is viewing International Relations in terms of power and war. This paper argues that the study of international relations should be redefine to include gender point of view. Related to issue on nontraditional issue, gender analysis is became more significant in the study of international relations.
