Read an excerpt from the opening chapter | Table of Contents | How the State Can Ensure Gender Equality | What Sex Means for World Peace | Mapping the Places Where the War on Women Is Still Being Fought "An eye-opening contribution to our understanding of the powerful misogynist forces that still contribute to violence and war. This volume should be required reading for all students of international relations and those who make policy." - Ann Crittenden, author of The Price of Motherhood (Read more reviews) Sex and World Peace unsettles a variety of assumptions in political and security discourse, demonstrating that the security of women is a vital factor in the security of the state and its incidence of conflict and war.
The authors compare gender violence and state peacefulness in global settings, supporting their findings with analyses and color maps. They call attention to discrepancies between national laws protecting women and the enforcement of those laws, and they note the adverse effects on state security of abnormal sex ratios favoring males, the practice of polygamy, and inequitable realities in family law, among other gendered aggressions.
The authors find that the treatment of women informs human interaction at all levels of society. Their research challenges conventional definitions of security and democracy and shows that the treatment of gender, played out on the world stage, informs the true clash of civilizations.
