The School of Law and Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex and
the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Centre for
Women, Peace and Security are proud to invite you to the book launch of
The Law of War and Peace: a Gender Analysis - Volume One (Zed, 2021).
The Law of War and Peace: A Gender Analysis offers a cutting-edge analysis of the relationship between law, armed conflict, gender and peace. This book, which is the first of two volumes, focuses on the interplay between international law and gendered experiences of armed conflict. It provides an in-depth analysis of the key debates on collective security, unilateral force, the laws governing conflict, terrorism and international criminal law.
While much of the current scholarship has centered on the UN Security Council's Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security (WPS), this two-volume work seeks to move understandings beyond the framework established by WPS. It does this through providing a critical and intersectional approach to gender and conflict which is mindful of transnational feminist and queer perspectives.
The book launch will commence with a presentation from Dr Kate Grady (SOAS) who designed the book cover. We will then hear from the authors of the book, Professor Gina Heathcote (SOAS), Dr Emily Jones (Essex), Dr Sheri Labenski (LSE) and Sara Bertotti (SOAS). A reader’s response will then be presented by Dr Yassin Brunger (Queen's University Belfast).
