Female Ex-Combatants, Empowerment, and Reintegration investigates
the role of United Nations-led Disarmament, Demobilization, and
Reintegration (DDR) programs in undermining female ex-combatants'
empowerment. The participation of female combatants in conflict has
increasingly been recognized in feminist literatures and in
policies and programs concerned with reintegrating ex-combatants
and building peace. This has illustrated that female ex-combatants
often experience "empowerment" through their role as combatant;
however, this empowerment is often lost upon reintegration. UN-led
DDR plays an important role in the broader peacebuilding process,
as it is one of the largest interventions and directly aims to
reintegrate ex-combatants into civilian life. This book draws on
extensive field research and interviews with female ex-combatants
and DDR officials in Liberia and Nepal to develop a nuanced and
comprehensive picture of female ex-combatants' empowerment and how
this is undermined by DDR. Through reconceptualized frameworks of
empowerment and an emancipatory peace, the book explores the
pivotal role that DDR programs play in undermining female
ex-combatants' empowerment. The author argues that this is
detrimental to peacebuilding, because DDR officials and
documentation narrate female ex-combatants in limited and gendered
ways, which reproduces gendered inequalities and define how female
ex-combatants should behave. This book will be of great interest to
scholars and practitioners working on gender, conflict, peace,
security, and development.
