The adoption of Security Council resolution 1325 on women, peace
and security in October 2000 marked the beginning of a global
agenda on women in armed conflicts and post-conflict transition.
Women, Peace and Security: Repositioning gender in peace agreements
discusses the context and the content of this UN agenda and
provides a systematic review of its implementation, over the last
fifteen years, in peace agreements around the world.This book is
timely, offering a valuable contribution to the literature on
gender in armed conflicts, peace agreements, peace mediation, and
transitional justice and is essential reading for practitioners and
scholars working in this field. The study adopts an
interdisciplinary approach to raise key theoretical and practical
questions often overlooked by scholars working within the strict
boundaries of the distinct disciplines. The book introduces a new
dataset on peace agreements that provides important comprehensive
evidence on the extent to which resolution 1325 and other
subsequent resolutions on women, peace and security have impacted
on peace agreements. Through the reflections of elite peacemakers,
the book provides additional insights into the practice of
peacemaking and the challenges of implementing the UN resolutions
on women, peace and security on the ground.The findings of this
book have important policy implications for governments,
international organisations and NGOs who must refocus their efforts
on bridging the gap between the theory and practice of gender
sensitive peacemaking.
