Routledge Advances in Feminist Peace Research

About the Book Series

This series aims to establish a home for conceptually challenging and empirically authoritative studies about how feminist peace approaches can help to move forward the study of peace, justice, violence, and conflict. More specifically, FPR has the potential to renew approaches to traditional fields such as peacebuilding, mediation, conflict prevention, international interventions, or peacekeeping, by challenging conventional understandings of how peace is built and by bringing in new perspectives.
