Laura Sjoberg positions gender and gender subordination as key
factors in the making and fighting of global conflict. Through the
lens ofgender, she examines the meaning, causes, practices, and
experiences of war, building a more inclusive approach to the
analysis of violent conflict between states.
Considering war at the international, state, substate, and
individual levels, Sjoberg's feminist perspective elevates a number
of causal variables in war decision-making. These include
structural gender inequality, cycles of gendered violence, state
masculine posturing, the often overlooked role of emotion in
political interactions, gendered understandings of power, and
states' mistaken perception of their own autonomy and unitary
nature. "Gendering Global Conflict" also calls attention to
understudied spaces that can be sites of war, such as the
workplace, the household, and even the bedroom. Her findings show
gender to be a linchpin of even the most tedious and seemingly
bland tactical and logistical decisions in violent conflict. Armed
with that information, Sjoberg undertakes the task of redefining
and reintroducing critical readings of war's political, economic,
and humanitarian dimensions, developing the beginnings of a
feminist theory of war.
