Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will explore core questions in Feminist Peace and Conflict Studies. We will make feminist sense of conflict theory and learn that looking at conflict theory from a feminist perspective leads us to reconsider our ontological and epistemological assumptions. We will discuss important contributions that feminist scholars have made to Peace and Conflict Studies. This includes analyzing the concepts of security, violence and peace, women`s participation in armed conflict, the gendered effects of peace accords, transitional justice as well as the implementation of United Nations S/RES/1325 (2000) and its consecutive resolutions dealing with Women, Peace, and Security. Illustrative case studies help us examine the gendered nature of conflict and peacebuilding. Conflict analysis allows us to better understand causes, actors and dynamics of the conflicts. We explore current issues in contemporary World Politics and ask how economic and structural changes within the global order affect the dynamic and root causes of conflict?
