Utilising Northern Ireland as a case study, this book presents an
analysis of the gender and sexual politics of conflict
transformation. The book synthesises a vast array of international
sources with the author's empirical and theoretical research to
produce a powerful gendered critique of conflict transformation in
Northern Ireland. It maps the negative effects of the region's
violent conflict on gender and sexual equality and explores the
potential of the conflict transformational processes, set in motion
by the 1998 Peace Agreement, to transform relationships between
different genders and sexualities. Starting from the feminist
proposition that building peace requires the inclusion of issues of
gender and sexual equality, the author analyses how the new
institutional and semantic structures of conflict transformation in
Northern Ireland preserved older conservative narratives about
gender and sexuality. As older narratives clashed with progressive
forms of sexual and gender politics, the core sites of conflict
transformation became arenas of gender and sexual struggles. The
book outlines these struggles, and charts the positive and
inclusive visions of peace developed by activists throughout the
period of conflict transformation. This book will be of much
interest to students of gender studies, conflict transformation,
ethnic conflict, peace studies and Irish politics.
