Abstract
Description
The defining features from the beginning of 20th century to the early 21"
century include numerous armed conflicts, authoritarian regimes, and
genocidal episodes, and the last quarter of the 20th century ushers in a
significant increase in attention to women's rights and protagonism in the
context of political violence and terrorism. These negative developments
necessitated research and policy initiatives on conflict prevention,
resolution, and reconstruction activities that recently focus on gender
dimensions to conflict, with a view to incorporating their concerns to
policy and academic settings, in order to better understand and respond to
the impact conflict has on men and women
