Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will explore core questions in Conflict and Peace Research. How are the paradigms and concepts of Conflict and Peace research gendered? How will our understanding of conflict and peace change if we apply a gender perspective? Additionally to the discussion of different feminist theoretical approaches in the discipline of IR, the participants will become familiar with central debates and concepts in conflict and peace research. We will discuss central topics like the concept of security, women`s participation in armed conflict and in post-conflict peacebuilding, the implementation of United Nations S/RES/1325 (2000) and its consecutive resolutions dealing with Women, Peace and Security among others. The second part consists of an analysis of different case studies
