The unprecedented United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, established in 2000, radically addressed what we knew about warfare—that civilians and especially women were increasingly targeted—and
called for a sea change in the ways women should engage in any rebuilding processes, including conflict management, governance, and peacebuilding efforts. Deconstructing Women, Peace and Security offers a
critical review and analysis of many gender-based efforts
implemented since 2000, including empowerment policies, strategies, and an in-depth study of four particular cases. It calls out the need for conceptualizing
gender as a social structure in policy construction. It assesses the ‘good intentions’ of policies designed and implemented with core beliefs they will be good for women. It provides an important case-based analysis of what is (and is not) working.
