This book sheds new light on the important but diverse roles of
women in the civil war in Nepal (1996-2006), and the post-conflict
reconstruction period (2006-2016). Engaging critically with the
women, peace and security literature, Women, Peace and Security in
Nepal questions the potential of peace processes to become a window
of opportunity for women's empowerment, while insisting on the
vital importance of a gender perspective in the study of conflict,
security and peace. After the signing of the 2006 Comprehensive
Peace Accord, Nepal experienced a huge leap in women's political
representation in the subsequent Constituent Assembly, often
portrayed as a landmark victory for women's empowerment in the
context of South Asia. Nepali women's mobilization played a key
role in this success story, though similar mobilization has failed
to produce the same outcomes elsewhere in South Asia. How does
Nepal differ from the other cases? Presenting studies of war-time
and post-conflict Nepal through a gender lens, this book critically
assesses the argument that war and peacebuilding can add momentum
to the transformation of gender roles. Contributing new knowledge
on women's disempowerment and empowerment in conflict and
peacebuilding, the book also offers insights for contemporary
debate on gender and political change in conflict-affected
societies. This book will be of great interest to students of peace
and conflict studies, gender security, South Asia and international
relations in general, as well as policy-makers and NGOs.
