Description

Two leading feminist lawyers address the reflection of gender in international law to explicitly set out what gendered peace might look like and its impact on international law in this open access book. In order to challenge orthodoxies, the book takes an unconventional approach, merging personal reflections, expert essays, and interviews with activists. It throws the disciplinary net wide, drawing on law, gender studies, international relations and history. The authors, undisputed global leaders in the field, challenge the reader to unlearn international law, in order to relearn it in a way that makes it more fit for purpose for the contemporary world. This seminal work is a clarion call to think about international law in a new and transformative way. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the London School of Economics & Political Science.
