This book offers a unique perspective on changing gender practices
in post-conflict societies, looking at when and how masculinities
change after armed conflicts. Building on original research data
from Liberia, chapters look at the pathways of change in societal
discourses, security sector institutions, and at the level of
formatter combatants. Scrutinising the potential of peacebuilding
for making conflict-related masculinities change after armed
conflicts, the book develops a theoretical model that helps to
understand both how violence-centred masculinities change after
armed conflicts, and why profound changes of violent gender
practices occur only rarely. What this book hopes to show is that
masculinities can and do change after armed conflicts. Illuminating
the intricate interrelationship between gendered practices within
societal discourses, security sector institutions, and at the
individual level in post-conflict societies, this book constitutes
an invitation to rethinking our understanding of peacebuilding
practices and their interconnectedness with gender, violence, and
peace.
