| Summary: | "By comparatively assessing violence against women in three conflict-affected jurisdictions (Liberia, Northern Ireland and Timor-Leste), Conflict Related Violence Against Women empirically and theoretically expands current understanding of the form and nature of conflict- related violence against women. Employing a disaggregated and aggregated approach, the book first documents violence against women in each context's pre-, mid- and post-conflict phase, and then assesses the relations between the violence in each phase on an aggregated basis"-- "By comparatively assessing violence against women in three conflict-affected jurisdictions (Liberia, Northern Ireland and Timor-Leste), Conflict Related Violence Against Women empirically and theoretically expands current understanding of the form and nature of conflict-related violence against women. Employing a disaggregated and aggregated approach, the book first documents violence against women in each context's pre-, mid- and post-conflict phase, and then assesses the relations between the violence in each phase on an aggregated basis. Through this approach, Swaine highlights a wider spectrum of conflict-related violence against women than is currently acknowledged. She identifies a range of forces that simultaneously push open and close down spaces for addressing violence against women through post-justice mechanisms. The book proposes that in the aftermath of conflict, a transformation rather than a transition is required if justice processes are to play a role in preventing gendered violence before conflict and its appearance during conflict"-- Machine generated contents note: Part I.
