Reviews
This 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. It represents a span of knowledge and experience about international intervention in local crises. Presenting examples from Angola, Bosnia, East Timor, El Salvador, the former Yugoslavia, Guatemala, Haiti, Kosovo, Liberia, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, and Serbia, the authors offer insights for future peacekeeping and humanitarian missions. * Oxfam Development Resource Review *
This invaluable study makes compelling linkages between the political use of gender in conflict and peacekeeping and the blurring of the lines between victims, perpetrators, and combatants in today's wars. It is a must for activists, academics, policymakers, and the general public in our militarized world. -- Ariane Brunet, women's rights coordinator, International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development
