Abstract

This collective work is a major resource that advances the conceptual framework and reveals the deep linkages between the gender discourse and human security. The book shows the relevance of such a paradigm for understanding human and political processes primarily in Latvia, but also provides a comparison with other countries in the Baltic region and beyond. This book shows that in order to understand the complexities of countries in transition, such as Latvia and others, the human security and gendered approach is critical not just for a holistic comprehension of the system but also as a guide to policy-makers and analysts, as it shows the intersections of security, development, rights and equity, all of which are essential for human development.

Abstract

This book examines NATO's engagement with gender issues through its military structures. Drawing on newly declassified NATO documents, this volume provides the first comprehensive account of NATO's long-established engagement with gender issues. These documents bring to the fore the stories of the NATO women and 'gendermen' who have organised within NATO across the decades to advocate on gender issues and highlights the continued challenges to pursuing transformative agendas within resistant institutions. The book argues that NATO is an institution of international hegemonic masculinity, with gender norms and values learnt by member and partner states through socialisation and the engagement of a masculinist protection logic. It therefore provides an important context for NATO's recent implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda encapsulated in UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and the seven follow-up resolutions. The volume interrogates how Women, Peace and Security has mapped on to NATO's pre-existing concerns as a global security actor, providing impetus for further critical knowledge building of NATO which centres on gender.

Abstract

In The Making of Modern Japan , Myles Carroll offers a sweeping account of post-war Japanese political economy, exploring the transition from the post-war boom to the crisis of today and the connections between these seemingly discrete periods. Carroll explores the multifarious international and domestic political, economic, social and cultural conditions that fortified Japan's post-war hegemonic order and enabled decades of prosperity and stability. Yet since the 1990s, a host of political, economic, social and cultural changes has left this same hegemonic order out of step with the realities of the contemporary world, a contradiction that has led to three decades of crisis in Japanese society. Can Japan make the bold changes required to reverse its decline?.

Abstract

The debate about the role of women in war, violent conflict and the military is not only a long and ongoing one; it is also a heated and controversial one. The contributions to this anthology come from experts in the field who approach the topic from various angles thus offering different and, at times, diverging perspectives. The reader will therefore gain in-depth insight into the most important aspects and positions in the debate.

Abstract

In vele landen bestaat er een grote discrepantie tussen de wetten die vrouwen moeten beschermen en de inspanningen die worden geleverd voor de naleving ervan. Seksisme en discriminatie komen nog altijd veel voor en hebben ook een effect op internationale relaties. De auteurs menen zelfs dat veel van de internationale conflicten van de toekomst zullen gaan tussen die landen die wél werken aan gendergelijkheid en zij die dat niet doen. Feit is dat de realiteit waarbinnen vrouwen moeten (over)leven, alsook de geldende normen binnen een patriarchale cultuur, nefast zijn voor een constructieve dialoog tussen landen. Eén van de belangrijke vragen waarop men in dit boek eveneens een antwoord zoekt, is of er een link bestaat tussen de veiligheid van vrouwen en de veiligheid van de Staat. Maar hoe bereikt men een systeem van gendergelijkheid dat duurzaam is en dat ieders veiligheid garandeert? Daartoe bespreken de auteurs zowel de 'top-down' fals de 'bottom-up'-benadering en welke van die twee het meest effectief blijkt op de lange termijn.
