This work focuses on women's participation in peacekeeping
operations and what needs to be considered regarding the role and
circumstances of women, including those in relation to the host
society. This volume opens with an article offering historical
insights that reflect on the contemporary relevance of two ancient
Greek plays, "Antigone" and "Lysistrata." The latter was referred
to by Nelson Mandela in his efforts to negotiate the conflict in
Burundi. The following essay is a theoretical perspective on women
and war, highlighting the difference between post-modernist and
universalist approaches to women's roles in peacemaking and
conflict resolution. Other topics include the role of women in
military operations, the implications of the high levels of sexual
violence in peacekeeping operations and the UN's gender policy for
peacekeeping operations. Case studies include Macedonia, the only
preventative operation in which it is possible to discuss gender
implications on security.
In view of the extendedperiod of time in which UNIFIL operated in
Lebanon, it is valuable to compare operations before and after the
inclusion of women on the staff. The peacekeeping mission in
Namibia is notable as the UN's first multi-dimensional operation
and as an operation in which women constituted a large part of the
civilian staff is also examined.
