Traditionally, much of the work studying war and conflict has
focused on men. Men commonly appear as soldiers, commanders,
casualties, and civilians. Women, by contrast, are invisible as
combatants, and, when seen, are typically pictured as victims. The
field of war and conflict studies is changing: more recently,
scholars of war and conflict have paid increasing notice to men as
a gendered category and given sizeable attention to women's
multiple roles in conflict and post-conflict settings. The Oxford
Handbook of Gender and Conflict focuses on the multidimensionality
of gender in conflict, yet it also prioritizes the experience of
women, given both the changing nature of war and the historical
de-emphasis on women's experiences. Today's wars are not staged
encounters involving formal armies, but societal wars that operate
at all levels, from house to village to city. Women are necessarily
involved at each level. Operating from this basic intellectual
foundation, the editors have arranged the volume into seven core
sections: the theoretical foundations of the role of gender in
violent conflicts; the sources for studying contemporary conflict;
the conflicts themselves; the post-conflict process; institutions
and actors; the challenges presented by the evolving nature of war;
and, finally, a substantial set of case studies from across the
globe. Genuinely comprehensive, this Handbook will not only serve
as an authoritative overview of this massive topic, it will set the
research agenda for years to come.
