More than Connecting the Gender Dots
This article proposes a paradigm shift in environmental peacebuilding beyond the peaceful distribution of resources, cooperative approaches and integrative frameworks and offers a feminist-relational approach that puts relations between men and women, communities and ecosystems at the centre of peacebuilding. Three disconnects mark environmental peacebuilding currently. Firstly, cooperation remains largely between state or elite actors. Secondly,…
The Politics of Space and Relationality
The article aims at remapping the relationship between Global North and Global South spatial politics in relation to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, in the Ugandan post-conflict setting. Our analysis of 'localization' draws on understandings of space as a 'cartography of power' (Massey), relational approaches and three categories of space, namely representations of space, spatial practices and representational place-space. We argue th…
It Matters How You ‘Do’ Gender in Peacebuilding
The article draws attention to the consequences of simplistically equating gender, sex and women when doing peacebuilding. Drawing on the ambivalent nature of security architecture interventions from the African continent, I make a case for keeping a variety of conceptual approaches to gender mainstreaming in mind in order to avoid a narrow fixation on adding women. I show through selected examples how institutional frameworks and commitments may…
An Exploratory, Qualitative Study of How Organizations Implement the Hierarchy of Controls Applied to Total Worker Health®
Understanding of how Total Worker Health ® (TWH) guidelines are implemented in employment organizations in the USA is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to explore how the principles of the Hierarchy of Controls Applied to NIOSH Total Worker Health (TWH HoC), have been implemented among organizations featured as Promising Practices for TWH between 2012-2019, with special focus on the work-related issues of fatigue, stress, sedentar…
Temporality and the discursive dynamics of the Rwandan National Action Plans on Women, Peace and Security from 2009 and 2018
The African Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda is supported by a well-developed architecture. However, the problem-solving language of the Continental Results Framework to monitor state implementation may impede critical gender discourses and practices. This article therefore examines the discursive repetitions and ruptures across Rwanda’s National Action Plans (NAPs) of 2009 and 2018, with specific attention to the dynamics of discursive rel…
Power and Resistance
This article focuses on contestations over organisational transformation and restructuring at the National University of Lesotho in the 21st century, engendered by market-oriented reforms. In particular, it focuses on the struggles occasioned by two reform processes, namely the transformation process of 2002–2004 and the restructuring process of 2011–2014. The purpose of this article is to bring to the fore the various ways by which the two proce…

The Power of Mixed Messages
Against the backdrop of global and continental women, peace, and security discourses, this contribution analyses the gender and women-focused language of national action plans from four African countries (Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, and Uganda), which were drafted with a view to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325. I argue that national action plans have the potential to transcend the soft-consensus language of Security Council resolutio…
Decolonising gender and peacebuilding
The article seeks to theorise an integrated decolonised feminist frame for peacebuilding in an African context. Arguing that a decolonial-feminist lens has the potential to change the way we look at peacebuilding practices, I propose the notion of 'feminist frontiers' – an engaged yet stabilising heuristic tool for analysing racialised and gendered relations post-conflict. The argument is structured around three pillars, namely: metageographies a…
Gender and Crisis in Global Politics
(Re)framing the Relationship between Discourse and Materiality in Feminist Security Studies and Feminist IPE
While feminists usually try to ground the meanings that they study, theorizing the mundane or the everyday may very well represent a detour—or even a dead end—if bread-and-butter issues related to the security and economic well-being of ordinary women and men are ignored. What value does feminist theorizing (even if it draws from women's lived experiences) have in war-affected contexts where meeting immediate needs is paramount? At what point doe…
A Double-edged Sword of Peace? Reflections on the Tension between Representation and Protection in Gendering Liberal Peacebuilding
Using a postcolonial-feminist approach, this article argues that the way in which gender is framed in peace interventions is symptomatic of the hegemonic way in which the discourses about the representation and protection of women within the liberal intervention model are constructed and institutionalized. Through an analysis of international discourses on the politics of inclusion/exclusion, protection, as well as sexual and gender-based violenc…
Democratic Peace Theory and the Realist-Liberal Dichotomy
The idea of a separate (dyadic) peace among (liberal) democracies remains an alluring proposition for Western intellectuals and policy makers, despite criticism from non-Western circles. We contend that explanations of the democratic peace have degenerated into theoretical stalemate, with the structuralist bias depicted in (neo)realist theories and, conversely, the individualist nature of liberal theories of the democratic peace, providing little…
Peacebuilding Through a Gender Lens and the Challenges of Implementation in Rwanda and Côte d'Ivoire
With the hypothesis in mind that discrimination against women increases the likelihood that a state will experience internal conflict, this article contends that considering gender is a key part of an effective peacebuilding process. Evidence gathered by studying peacebuilding from a feminist perspective, such as in Rwanda and Côte d'Ivoire, can be used to reconceptualize the peace agenda in more inclusive and responsible ways. Following from thi…
Doing’ Security As Though Humans Matter
A feminist perspective can make security discourse more reflective of its own normative assumptions. In respect of an expanded human security concept, a feminist perspective highlights the dangers of masking differences under the rubric of the term ‘human’. A critical feminist perspective is geared towards addressing the politics of multiple overlapping identities. Since gender is intertwined with other identities such as race, class and national…
