Description
Gender, Violent Conflict and Development provides a comprehensive analysis of how gender intersects with violent conflict and development processes worldwide. Dubravka Zarkov examines the complex relationships between warfare, violence, and gender relations, challenging conventional development narratives that often overlook these critical connections.
The book explores how conflicts reshape gender roles, identities, and power structures within societies, while also analyzing how pre-existing gender inequalities influence the nature and outcomes of violence. Zarkov draws on case studies and empirical research to demonstrate the gendered impacts of conflict on populations, particularly women and marginalized communities.
Through this intersectional approach, the author addresses post-conflict reconstruction, peacebuilding initiatives, and development strategies that must account for gendered dimensions of violence. The work contributes to feminist scholarship on conflict studies and development, offering critical insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working in conflict-affected regions.
