Abstract

From Pakistan to Chechnya, Sri Lanka to Canada, pioneering women are taking their places in formal and informal military structures previously reserved for, and assumed appropriate only for men. Women have fought in wars, either as women or covertly dressed as men, throughout the history of warfare, but only recently have they been allowed to join state militaries, insurgent groups, and terrorist organizations in unprecedented numbers. This begs the question - how useful are traditional gendered categories in understanding the dynamics of war and conflict ? And why are our stories of gender roles in war typically so narrow ? Who benefits from them ? The author explores how gender matters in war-making and war-fighting today. Drawing on a rich range of examples from conflicts around the world, she shows that both women and men play many more diverse roles in wars than either media or scholarly accounts convey. Gender, she argues, can be found at every turn in the practice of war; it is crucial to understanding not only 'what war is', but equally how it is caused, fought and experienced.

Abstract

‘Gender’ vormt een primaire analytische categorie die nodig is om de complexiteit van oorlog en conflict begrijpen. Met andere woorden: “looking at war through gendered lenses”. De auteur van dit boek bekritiseert theorieën die voorbijgaan aan het genderaspect, maar tegelijk toont ze ook aan dat er binnen de verschillende feministische benaderingen ook veel wrijvingen bestaan. Het is dan ook haar bedoeling deze visies in dialoog te brengen met elkaar en ze tegelijkertijd in contrast te plaatsen met de ‘genderblinde’ theorievormingen. &#13;De vier grote topics van dit boek zijn: oorzaken van oorlog, de praktijk van het oorlog voeren zelf, het belang van de studie van oorlogservaringen, en de betekenis(en) van oorlog. In negen hoofdstukken gaat ze dieper in op theorieën m.b.t internationale betrekkingen, veiligheidsstudies, militarisme en oorlogsstudies.

Abstract

Rethinking the Twenty-First Century brings much needed context and perspective to the security problems we face today. The chapters here show that, far from being a clean break, the 'new' problems faced today might actually have 'old' solutions.

Abstract

Many scholars, intentionally or unintentionally, have entangled constructivisms and critical theories in problematic ways, either by assigning a critical-theoretical politics to constructivisms or by assuming the appropriateness of constructivist epistemology and methods for critical theorizing. This text makes the argument that these connections mirror the grand theoretical syntheses of International Relations (IR) in the 1980s and 1990s, and have similar constraining effects on the possibilities of International Relations theory.
