The end of formal hostilities in any given conflict provides an
opportunity to transform society in order to secure a stable peace.
This book builds on the existing feminist international relations
literature as well as lessons of past cases that reinforce the
importance of including women in the post-conflict transition
process, and are important to our general understanding of gender
relations in the conflict and post-conflict periods. Post-conflict
transformation processes, including disarmament, demobilization and
reintegration (DDR) programs, transitional justice mechanisms,
reconciliation measures, and legal and political reforms, which
emerge after the formal hostilities end demonstrate that war and
peace impact, and are impacted by, women and men differently. By
drawing on a strong theoretical framework and a number of cases,
this volume provides important insight into questions pertaining to
the end of conflict and the challenges inherent in the
post-conflict transition period that are relevant to students and
practitioners alike.

Based upon years of field experience, this Guide is addressed to
you, whether your non-profit has experience of working with
university interns or volunteers but wants to deepen and increase
the effectiveness of the relationship; whether your agency is
starting to explore how to improve client services through a campus
collaboration; or whether you work for an NGO interested in
partnering with universities across borders to effect positive
change and draw attention to the challenges, resources, and needs
of your community. This Guide offers insights and strategies to
leverage student learning and community empowerment for the benefit
of both parties. Recognizing both the possibilities and the
pitfalls of community-campus collaborations, it demystifies the
often confusing terminology of education, explains how to locate
the right individuals on campus, and addresses issues of mission,
expectations for roles, tasks, training, supervision, and
evaluation that can be fraught with miscommunication and
misunderstanding. Most importantly it provides a model for
achieving full reciprocity in what can be an unbalanced
relationship between community and campus partners so that all
stakeholders can derive the maximum benefit from their
collaboration. This Guide is also available in sets of six or
twelve, at reduced prices, to facilitate its use for planning, and
for training of leaders engaged in partnerships.
"Providing for National Security: A Comparative Analysis" argues
that the provision of national security has changed in the 21st
century as a result of a variety of different pressures and
threats. In this timely volume experts from both the academic and
policy worlds present 13 different country case studies drawn from
across the globe--including established and newer states, large and
smaller states, those on the rise and those in apparent decline--to
identify what these key players consider to be their national
security priorities, how they go about providing national security,
how they manage national security, and what role they see for their
armed forces now and in the future. The book concludes that
relative standing and the balance of power remains important to
each state, and that all see an important role for armed forces in
the future.

Since the end of the Cold War, and especially following the US
decision to invade Iraq, the once strong partnership between the
US, Canada, and the European allies has faced the serious
possibility of significant change, or even dissolution. At the very
least, fundamental differences have emerged in the ways that many
of the partners, perceive the issues that are most important to
them-from perceptions of the threat of terrorism and attitudes to
the use of force, to expectation about the future nature of the
NATO Alliance-and in the ways in which those perceptions have
become translated into policy decisions. In this book, experts from
both sides of the Atlantic seek to explain why there has been so
much divergence in the approach the various countries have taken.
And it seeks to raise questions about what those divergent paths
might mean for the future of transatlantic relations.
Focusing on NATO's continued crisis of identity, Joyce P. Kaufman
argues that the conflicts in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and
Kosovo have proven to be critical to an alliance that has not been
able to define its roles and missions in the post-Cold War world.
While, on the one hand, NATO was enlarging by inviting former
adversaries in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union to join, on the other hand it has been woefully unprepared to
deal with the ethnic conflicts that erupted on its borders and that
could undermine the peace and stability of Europe. The author
contends that the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia have
potentially threatened the essence of NATO by forcing the alliance
to take on the new role of peacekeeper without adequately allowing
the members to examine the role the alliance wants to or should
play in a largely postcommunist world. Despite ongoing discussion
in NATO ministerial summits, the alliance has made little progress
to date and public questions about the role and even the viability
of NATO after the Cold War continue to grow. The inability to
address these issues leaves NATO facing a number of pressing
questions that this book tries to answer: What role can and should
the alliance play in the future? And why have the ongoing conflicts
in the Balkans proven to be a challenge that the alliance has been
unwilling or unable to resolve?
Now in a fully updated edition that goes through the Trump
administration and the election and formative period of the Biden
administration, this compact and accessible introduction offers a
historical perspective on the evolution of U.S. foreign policy from
the founding of the country to the present. Joyce P. Kaufman
provides students and general readers with a clear and concise
understanding of key foreign-policy decisions and why they were
made. She identifies the major themes that have guided foreign
policy and the reasons that the United States pursued certain
policies in the context of specific periods in the nation's
history. Kaufman focuses on the major actors involved in the making
of foreign policy and the changing relationships among them. She
also explains the major theoretical perspectives within
international relations and contextualizes key foreign policy
decisions as they fit these frameworks. This edition puts a
particular focus on the creation of Cold War foreign policy, and
why the end of the Cold War has continued to be such a challenge to
the United States. Kaufman concludes with a look at the threat that
the United States is facing and will continue to face, including
existential threats such as climate change and disease, and how
Americans can be prepared to face them.

Women, the State, and War looks at the intersection of gender,
citizenship, and nationalism; marriage, intermarriage, and how
states gender that relationship; and the ways in which women are
used as symbols to reinforce or further nationalistic goals. Women
have long struggled with issues of citizenship, identity, and the
challenge of being recognized as equal members of the community.
Governments use feminine imagery (e.g., mother country) to create a
national identity, while simultaneously minimizing the role that
women play as productive contributors to the society. Authors Joyce
P. Kaufman and Kristen P. Williams examine the relationship of
government and women in four different countries: the United
States, Israel, the former Yugoslavia, and Northern Ireland. In
each case, numerous similarities appear: conflict plays a
significant role in the definition of citizenship for women;
women's movements have worked in contradiction to the state; and
citizenship and marriage are gendered undertakings.

This clear and concise text introduces four key theoretical
frameworks that form the foundation of international
relations-realism, liberalism, constructivism, and feminist
theory-and uses levels of analysis as the primary unifying force to
explain contemporary global politics. Cases on climate change;
gender, peace, and security; migration; and the rise of China
illustrate Kaufman's approach. The third edition explains core
issues in international relations, such as the interaction of
nations in a globalized world; the growing threat posed by
non-state actors and civil conflicts; and the need for countries to
work together to counter what have been called "existential
crises," such as climate change, which threaten human lives and the
planet. Significant revisions focus on discussion of democratic
backsliding, the Covid-19 pandemic, cyberterrorism and cyberwar,
changes to the European Union, and expanded coverage of
international political economy.
