| Inhalt | This course considers how gender has come to matter in international and national security agendas. Grounded in the assumption that war and conflict are highly gendered phenomenon reliant on socially constructed norms of masculinity and femininity, we will consider the differential impacts that war has on men and women and assess the policies meant to address such impacts. Relatedly, we will consider how gender has been mainstreamed into security cooperation in ways that are often harmful to both women and feminist objectives. |
| Lernziele | To this end, students will first be introduced to feminist international relations theory and critical security studies before engaging with contemporary issues such as the gendered dynamics of recruitment into armed groups; sexual violence as a tactic of war; gender mainstreaming in counterterrorism and preventing violent extremism programs; the relationship of gender, migration and conflict; and the importance yet potential limits of institutionalizing normative commitments to women’s rights in peace and security agendas. The ultimate goal of this course is to demonstrate the importance of gender and feminist theory for the analysis of war, peace and security, and to equip students with the tools to engage in such interdisciplinary theorizing and practice. |
