Gender, Peace and Post-Conflict Constitutions

Adopting a feminist lens, this book examines how peace and constitution-making processes shape the transition from war to peace.

By moving beyond the legal text to analysing the drafting process itself, the book reveals how peace agreements and constitutions can reinforce or resist patriarchal power structures. Through illustrative case studies, it brings constitution-making into feminist peace and conflict studies for the first time, connecting long-term processes of mediation, agreement and state-building. The analysis provides essential insights for students and researchers in peace and conflict studies, feminist international relations, international law, and comparative constitutional studies.
