This international, edited collection brings together personal
accounts from researchers working in and on conflict and explores
the roles of emotion, violence, uncertainty, identity and
positionality within the process of doing research, as well as the
complexity of methodological choices. It highlights the
researchers' own subjectivity and presents a nuanced view of
conflict research that goes beyond the 'messiness' inherent in the
process of research in and on violence. It addresses the
uncomfortable spaces of conflict research, the potential for
violence of research itself and the need for deeper reflection on
these issues. This powerful book opens up spaces for new
conversations about the realities of conflict research. These
critical self-reflections and honest accounts provide important
insights for any scholar or practitioner working in similar
environments.
This book examines water security as a prime example of how the
economic, socio-cultural and political-normative systems that
regulate access to water reflect the evolving and gendered power
relations between different societal groups. Access to water is
characterized by inequalities: it depends not only on natural water
availability, but also on the respective socio-political context.
It is regulated by gender-differentiated roles and responsibilities
towards the resource, which are strongly influenced by, among
others, tradition, religion, customary law, geographical
availability, as well as the historical and socio-political
context. While gender has been recognized as a key intervening
variable in achieving equitable water access, most studies fail to
acknowledge the deep interrelations between social structures and
patterns of water use. Proof of these shortcomings is the enduring
lack of data on water accessibility, availability and utilization
that sufficiently acknowledges the relational nature of gender and
other categories of power and difference, like class and
socioeconomic status, as well as their comprehensive analysis. This
book addresses this major research gap.
