Peacekeeping has become a major international undertaking
throughout the world, from Africa to the Americas, from Europe to
Southeast Asia. Yet until now, there has been no systematic
analysis of the key role of gender in post-cold war conflicts and
of post-conflict peacekeeping efforts. This groundbreaking volume
explores how gender has become a central factor in shaping current
thinking about the causes and consequences of armed conflict,
complex emergencies, and reconstruction. Drawing on expertise
ranging from the highest levels of international policymaking down
to the daily struggle to implement peacekeeping operations, this
work represents the full span of knowledge and experience about
international intervention in local crises. Presenting a rich array
of examples from Angola, Bosnia Herzegovina, East Timor, El
Salvador, the former Yugoslavia, Guatemala, Haiti, Kosovo, Liberia,
Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, and Serbia, the authors offer
important insights for future peacekeeping and humanitarian
missions.
