This book proposes that work on the Women, Peace and Security
agenda undertaken by civil society actors can be interpreted as a
form of care labour that nourishes and sustains the agenda -
without which the agenda could not, in fact, succeed. The care
labour of civil society is thus a condition of the Women, Peace and
Security agenda's success. United Nations Security Council
resolution 1325 is the foundation of a diverse and pluralising
policy framework known as the Women, Peace and Security agenda.
Over the 20 years since the adoption of the foundational
resolution, despite sustained resistance from some quarters and a
general lack of adequate resourcing and political will, the agenda
has continued to see many successes, and to achieve elements of
political transformation large and small. This book explores how
the supporting constituency of the agenda has 'made 1325 work'.
Based on new interviews with representatives of diverse civil
society organisations working on WPS, the book offers a novel
intervention into WPS scholarship, which has thus far paid
relatively little attention to the labours of civil society actors
working on WPS, particularly on an individual level. The authors
consider the motivations, pressures and frustrations experienced by
WPS civil society actors, as well as the goals and challenges. This
book is based on original research and will be of interest to
scholars, policymakers and practitioners working on WPS
specifically, and those working in Political Science, International
Relations, Development Studies, and on the global governance of
peace and security. It will also be relevant for students in
WPS-focused programs and of peace and security studies more
broadly.

The speed and cost effectiveness of new information technology has
prompted many to view these innovations as a panacea for social and
economic development. However, such a view flies in the face of
continuing inequities in education, health, food, and
infrastructure. This volume explores these issues - along with
questions of access, privilege, literacy, training, and the
environmental and health effects of information technologies in the
developing world - arguing that a higher level of development does
not always result from a higher level of technologization.
