The book explains an unexpected consequence of the decrease in
conflict in Africa after the 1990s. Analysis of cross-national data
and in-depth comparisons of case studies of Uganda, Liberia and
Angola show that post-conflict countries have significantly higher
rates of women's political representation in legislatures and
government compared with countries that have not undergone major
conflict. They have also passed more legislative reforms and made
more constitutional changes relating to women's rights. The study
explains how and why these patterns emerged, tying these outcomes
to the conjuncture of the rise of women's movements, changes in
international women's rights norms and, most importantly, gender
disruptions that occur during war. This book will help scholars,
students, women's rights activists, international donors, policy
makers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and others better
understand some of the circumstances that are most conducive to
women's rights reform today and why.
