VILLARROEL PENA, Yetzy. History of International Relations in a Decolonial and Feminist Key. Rev. Esc. Hist. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1669-9041.

For a good part of time, the practical knowledge of International Relations was linked, almost exclusively, to the records generated by History, in such a way that History has played an important role in both the theoretical and practical development of the discipline. For this reason, internationalists frequently allude to the historian Thucydides, to the chronicles of kings, to the justifications of the state and its behavior based on historical analyses of the Western world, impacting on the identities of Latin American nation-states and their insertion in the international system. From decolonial thought and from feminism (critical thinking) there have been analyses that dismantle the ontology, epistemology, and methodologies behind Western thought, showing perspectives of analysis from other places. One of the challenges of decolonial thought has been to understand the global dimension and its connection with the local to rethink possible political alternatives to neoliberal globalization and coloniality, and in this sense it acquires a geopolitical character. Meanwhile, feminism offers spaces for thought and political practices of resistance to make visible the implications of patriarchal and hegemonic history, prevailing in the West, on the rest of the countries, people, and women.  Both points of view propose a rereading of the history of the region and of universal history, in general, since 1492. The objective of the research is to present the alternatives to the hegemonic historical thought proposed from the decolonial and feminist perspective. As well as to show its importance for the international discipline. For this purpose, a qualitative, multidisciplinary methodology will be used, emphasizing the historical method, reviewing, and analyzing primary and secondary sources that allow an approach to the development of the objectives set. It is concluded that this type of thinking is highly strategic because it considers the value of other epistemologies, ontologies, ethics, and aesthetics to think the world outside the hegemonic, universalizing discourses of both left and right.
