Zusammenfassung:"This book examines gendered violence at various social and political levels, thus enabling a feminist exploration of complex linkages. It builds on feminist scholarship, especially around questions of the state and agency, in order to take the argument into important current arenas. Among the issues addressed are: can national and international regimes actually offer women 'security'?; what is the meaning of women's recruitment to the military or of their support for right-wing movements and regimes?; and the importance of social cleavages other than gender in women's - and men's - experiences of violent conflict." "With wide-ranging chapters and in accessible form, this volume provides a valuable resource across a range of disciplines, including women's studies, international relations, peace studies, development and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.
