Law of War and Peace : A Gender Analysis: Volume 2

The Law of War and Peace: Volume Two offers a cutting-edge analysis of
the relationship between law, armed conflict, gender and peace. This second
volume focuses on peace and the post-conflict period, examining the post-conflict
legal structures that regulate peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and peace
agreements. Applying an intersectional, queer, crip and decolonial approach to
post-conflict legal structures, transitional justice, food security, environmental
security, militarism and peacekeeping, the authors explore the possibilities of
queer feminist changes to the laws of war and peace.

Across the book the authors examine the laws that promote the shift from armed
conflict to peace, as well as the role of militarism and military masculinities in
the production of ‘the everyday’ of so-called peacetime states. They reflect on
the possibility for feminist change in the law on war and peace, as understood
through a gender analysis, and encourage dialogue beyond the confines of
these pages, in a slow and considered commitment to queer feminist peace.
