Violent conflict, climate change, and poverty present distinct threats to women worldwide. Importantly, women are leading the way creating and sharing sustainable solutions. Women's security is a valuable analytical tool as well as a political agenda insofar as it addresses the specific problems affecting women's ability to live dignified, free, and secure lives. First, this collection focuses on how conflict impacts women's lives and well-being, including rape and gendered constructions of ethnicity, race, and religion. The book's second section looks beyond the scope of large-scale violence to examine human security in terms of environmental policy, food, water, health, and economics. Multidisciplinary in scope, these essays from new and established contributors draw from gender studies, international relations, criminology, political science, economics, sociology, biological and ecological sciences, and planning.
Military alliances provide constraints and opportunities for states
seeking to advance their interests around the globe. War, from the
Western perspective, is not a solitary endeavor. Partnerships of
all types serve as a foundation for the projection of power and the
employment of force. These relationships among states provide the
foundation upon which hegemony is built.
The emergence of a large number of states which are willing and able to challenge the norms of the international system constitutes a major challenge to the global community. The contributors to this volume analyse why so many states with high conflict propensities have emerged in the post-Cold war era; explore the different manifestations of riskiness in world politics; and evaluate the international community's capacity to effectively 'enforce' inter-state cooperation.
