Women, Gender Equality, and Post-Conflict Transformation

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 which emerge after the formal hostilities end demonstrate that war and peace impact, and are impacted by, women and men differently.
