Susan Dobscha and the authors in this Handbook provide a primer and
resource for scholars and practitioners keen to develop or enhance
their understanding of how gender permeates marketing decisions,
consumer experiences, public policy initiatives, and market
practices. This Handbook's main objective is to provide a roadmap
through the complicated terrain of gender as it pertains to
marketing and consumer behavior. The author also highlights that
the study of gender is not restricted to certain theories, methods,
or approaches. The unifying conclusion is that the study of gender
is an important topic that has not received the attention it
deserves within the marketing discipline; and attention to gender
is crucial now more than ever. This book will give marketing
scholars the guidance they need to incorporate the topic of gender
into their research by highlighting the current conversations that
are taking place in the field of marketing, and more importantly by
illuminating the gap in which more scholarship is necessary to
increase our understanding of gender complexities. Contributors

Peace is an elusive concept, especially within the field of
international law, varying according to historical era and between
Research Handbook responds to the gap created by the neglect of
peace in international law scholarship. Explaining the normative
evolution of peace from the principles of peaceful co-existence to
the UN declaration on the right to peace, this Research Handbook
calls for the fortification of international institutions to
facilitate the pursuit of sustainable peace as a public good. It
sets forth a new agenda for research that invites scholars from a
broad array of disciplines and fields of law to analyse the
contribution of international institutions to the construction and
implementation of sustainable peace. With its critical examination
of courts, transitional justice institutions, dispute resolution
and fact-finding mechanisms, this Research Handbook goes beyond the
traditional focus on post-conflict resolution, and includes areas
not usually found in analyses of peace such as investment and trade
law. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers in
the field of international law and peace, this Research Handbook
analyses peace in the context of law applicable to women, refugees,
environmentalism, sustainable development, disarmament, and other
key contemporary issues. This thoughtful Research Handbook will be
a crucial tool for policymakers, practitioners, and academics in
the fields of international law, human rights, jus post bellum, and
development. Its comprehensive insights to the field will also be
of benefit for students of political science, law, and peace
studies. Contributors: B.A. Andreassen, C.M. Bailliet, D. Behn, K.
