The 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.
