Description
Women, Gender, and Rebel Governance during Civil Wars provides a comprehensive analysis of how gender shapes the governance structures and policies of rebel organizations during armed conflicts. Through rigorous examination of multiple case studies, Meredith Maloof Loken demonstrates that women’s participation and gender ideology significantly influence how rebel groups organize, recruit, and govern territory under their control.
The book challenges conventional narratives about civil wars and armed insurgencies by centering gender as a critical analytical lens. Loken investigates how rebel movements incorporate or exclude women, how gender norms affect decision-making processes, and how these dynamics impact civilian populations. This Element contributes to broader conversations in gender studies, political science, and conflict studies by revealing the intricate connections between gender relations and the exercise of political authority in irregular warfare.
