  • Draws on feminist ethnographic and narrative traditions to challenge abstract understandings of war/peace and revisit the implications of post-conflict international interventions.
  • Deploys a multidimensional approach centred on belonging, agency and spaces of activism to explore the remaking of women’s citizenship in the aftermath of conflict and international intervention.
  • Tracks consociationalism‘s gendered exclusions beyond the institutional domain foregrounding discursive and non-discursive ramifications in the public and private practices of everyday life.

Part of the book series: Rethinking Peace and Conflict Studies (RCS)

About this book

This book examines the remaking of women’s citizenship in the aftermath of conflict and international intervention.  It develops a feminist critique of consociationalism as the dominant model of post-conflict governance by tracking the gendered implications of the Dayton Peace Agreement. It illustrates how the legitimisation of ethnonationalist power enabled by the agreement has reduced citizenship to an all-encompassing logic of ethnonational belonging and implicitly reproduced its attendant patriarchal gender order. Foregrounding women’s diverse experiences, the book reveals gendered ramifications produced at the intersection of conflict, ethno-nationalism and international peacebuilding. Deploying a multidimensional feminist approach centred around women’s narratives of belonging, exclusion, and agency, this book offers a critical interrogation of the promises of peace and explores individual/collective efforts to re-imagine citizenship.
