Examining the influence of gender constructs on the international
regime protecting war-affected civilians, R. Charli Carpenter
examines how in practice belligerents, advocates and humanitarian
players interpret civilian immunity so as to leave adult civilian
men and older boys at grave risk in conflict zones. Providing a
wealth of ground-breaking case studies, the author argues that in
order to understand the way in which laws of war are implemented
and promoted in international society we must understand how gender
ideas affect the principle of civilian immunity. Each case study
demonstrates the importance of assumptions about gender relations
in shaping international politics, and in developing a framework
for incorporating an attention to gender into the often
gender-blind scholarship on international norms. As such, this book
will be of interest to international relations theorists and to
human rights scholars, students and activists alike.
