- Description
- This book looks at the intersection of gender, citizenship, and nationalism: marriage, intermarriage, and how states gender that relationship: and the ways in which women are used as symbols to reinforce or further nationalistic goals. Women have long struggled with issues of citizenship, identity, and the challenge of being recognized as equal members of the community. Governments use feminine imagery (e.g., mother country) to create a national identity, while simultaneously minimizing the role that women play as productive contributors to the society. The authors examine the relationship of government and women in four different countries: the United States, Israel, the former Yugoslavia, and Northern Ireland. In each case, numerous similarities appear: conflict plays a significant role in the definition of citizenship for women: women's movements have worked in contradiction to the state: and citizenship and marriage are gendered undertakings.

- Description
- Post-conflict transformation processes, including disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programs, transitional justice mechanisms, reconciliation measures, and legal and political reforms, which emerge after the formal hostilities end demonstrate that war and peace impact, and are impacted by, women and men differently. By drawing on a theoretical framework and a number of cases, this volume provides insight into questions pertaining to the end of conflict and the challenges inherent in the post-conflict transition period.
