Gender, National Security, and Counter-Terrorism
«
"This text features an impressive array of authors providing stereoscopic, interdisciplinary, and cross-cultural perspectives on the complex yet under-theorized relationship between terrorism and gender. It promises to sharpen our thinking about how terrorism and counter-terrorism efforts affect the daily lives of women and the way in which both phenomena can entrench gender stereotypes and discrimination. It offers critical guidance on designing counter-terrorism policies that will preserve and enhance the range of human rights—civil, political, economic, social and cultural—to which women are entitled." Professor Beth Van Schaak, Stanford University

In the name of fighting terrorism, countries have been invaded; wars have been waged; people have been detained, rendered and tortured; and campaigns for "hearts and minds" have been unleashed. Human rights analyses of the counter-terrorism measures implemented in the aftermath of 11 September 2001 have assumed that men suffer the most-both numerically and in terms of the nature of rights violations endured. Les mer
Gender, National Security and Counter-Terrorism will be of particular interest to scholars and students in the disciplines of Law, Security Studies and Gender Studies.
