PPOL-842-10 Women in International Security
Spring only
Is there a gender specific experience in terrorism, ethno-religious fundamentalism and economic and cultural globalization? Are women simply victims as argued by theorists who focus on issues, such as, rape as a war crime, displacement of women and children in war zones? Why are the numbers of women in combat - soldiers and suicide bombers - increasing? Is there a special role for women in peacemaking both in the state and non-state sectors? These concerns will be examined in relation to several intensive regional and country case studies. The historical origin and evolution of conflict and peacemaking and conflict resolution strategies in each case will be explored focusing on gender dimensions. Seminar participants will undertake in-depth regional/country case studies from other areas of the world. On the basis of these alternative case studies, the seminar will seek to contribute to a comparative framework for the study and participation of women in international security. An interactive pedagogical approach will be used throughout.
