Power-Sharing Pacts and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-14876-2 (ISBN)
Championed by national governments and international organizations over the last two decades, power-sharing and feminist scholars and practitioners tend to view them as opposing norms. Critics charge that power-sharing scholars cast gender as an inconsequential political identity that does not motivate people like ethnonationalism. From a feminist perspective, such thinking serves the interests of ethnicized elites while excluding women and other marginalized communities from key sites of political power. This edited volume takes a different tack: while recognizing the gender gaps that still exist in power-sharing theory and practice, contributors also emphasize the constructive engagements that can be built between ethnopolitical power-sharing and gender inclusion.
Three main themes are highlighted:
The ‘gender silences’ of existing power-sharing arrangements
The impact of gender activism and advocacy on the negotiation and implementation of power-sharing pacts in divided societies
The opportunities for linkages between power-sharing and the women, peace and security agenda.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Nationalism and Ethnic Politics.
