This book examines how gendered agency emerges in peacebuilding
contexts. It develops a feminist critique of the international
peacebuilding interventions, through a study of transitional
justice policies and practices implemented in Bosnia &
Herzegovina, and local activists' responses to official discourses
surrounding them. Extending Nancy Fraser's tripartite model of
justice to peacebuilding contexts, the book also advances notions
of recognition, redistribution and representation as crucial
components of gender-just peace. It argues that recognising women
as victims and survivors of conflict, achieving a gender-equitable
distribution of material and symbolic resources, and enabling women
to participate as agents of transitional justice processes, are all
essential for transforming the structural inequalities that enable
gender violence and discrimination to materialise before, during,
and after conflict. This study establishes a new avenue of analysis
for understanding responses and resistances to international
peacebuilding, by offering a sustained engagement with feminist
social and political theory.
