Book Synopsis
This groundbreaking international collection engages vexed and vexing questions about the future of the Women, Peace and Security agenda, from the legacies of coloniality to the prospects of international law, and from the implications of the global arms trade to the impact of climate change. The collection balances analysis of emerging trends with specially-commissioned reflections from those at the forefront of policy and practice.
