Metaphorical Peace: Translating the Women Peace and Security Agenda in the Arab World
Since the end of the Cold War the international peace architecture has grown exponentially. A progressively more detailed and conceptually broad understanding of peace has emerged to underpin peacemaking by the UN and other international actors. This definition has been developed through a series of resolutions and reports that articulate a specific understanding of ‘peace’ in which ‘sustaining peace’ requires the prevention of conflict and addre…
Relationality and ‘peace listening’ in the Maputo Accord process in Mozambique
The Maputo Accord process in Mozambique is regarded as a rare success story in a context where international peace mediation as a tool of conflict resolution is in decline. Drawing on empirical research conducted with parties to the process, we outline two framing elements that constitute the practice of ‘peace listening’. The first is human-centred and value-based mediation, which centres the needs of the parties. The second foregrounds the flex…
Inclusion in the Northern Ireland Peace Process: A ‘History of the Present’
This article presents a 'history of the present' of the concept of inclusion and how it has been centred in analysis of the Northern Ireland process in recent years. Historical discourse analysis is used to deconstruct how the idea of inclusion as a defining feature of the NI process came to predominance over time. The analysis reveals the existence of different 'patches' of peacemaking activity that combined to deliver the agreement. Analysing t…
Law, language, and the power of ‘invisible threats’ of violence against women
Violence, and the threat of violence, is a pervasive feature of women's lives. From high‐profile threats in politics to everyday harms such as domestic abuse, violence, threat, and intimidation control women's behaviour and silence their voices. Yet in many cases the pernicious and harmful effect of threat is not captured by the law. Drawing on the work of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and empirical research undertaken in Northern Ireland, this art…
Aligning Participation and Protection in the Women, Peace and Security Agenda
This article presents the first feminist doctrinal textual analysis of cross-pillar synergies within thematic resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. Specifically, it examines the pillars relating to ‘participation’ and ‘protection’ under the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. This article identifies synergies, gaps and productive tensions as the WPS agenda begins to engage with the inter-relationship between the pillars. It outl…
What Counts as Transitional Justice Scholarship? Citational Recognition and Disciplinary Hierarchies in Theory and Practice
Since its emergence as a field of scholarship and practice, transitional justice has coalesced around a set of mechanisms to deal with a legacy of violence. The “pull” toward mechanisms, institutions, and structures as a means of delivering justice has led to certain kinds of knowledge being recognized as “transitional justice research” in the mainstream. Drawing on the theory of epistemic positioning, we reveal how hierarchies of academic knowle…
Moving in a State of Fear: Ambiguity, Gendered Temporality, and the Phenomenology of Anticipating Violence
This article adopts a feminist phenomenological method to flesh out the way in which gendered norms position the experience of anticipating violence. While women’s everyday lives are frequently polluted with an atmosphere laden with potential threats, the law struggles to adequately grasp this experience of anticipating violence. We argue that the dominant legal understanding of violence is incapable of grasping the experience of anticipating vio…

The authors reveal how peace mediation has developed into a complex arena and how multifaced assistance has become an indispensable part of it. Offering unique reflections on the new frameworks set out by the United Nations, the book explores the challenges and the opportunities of third- party inv…

Wabishki Bizhiko Skaanj: A learning pathway to foster better Indigenous cultural competence in Canadian health research
Objective In Canada, Indigenous people experience racism across diverse settings, including within the health sector. This has negatively impacted both the quality of care that Indigenous people receive as well as how research related to Indigenous populations is conducted. Therefore, an Indigenous-led council at a kidney research network, in partnership with other key stakeholders, sought to create a learning pathway that aims to distill the rac…
Soft ways of doing hard things’: Women mediators and the question of gender in mediation
Arguments in favour of increasing the number of women mediators rest on existing research in the field of Women Peace and Security that suggests that where women are included in peace processes that they create more sustainable agreements. It is often suggested that women mediators will bring different- ‘soft’- skills to mediation and that they will be catalysts to women’s empowerment. Drawing on a series of interviews with women mediators in Nor…

Transitional Constitutionalism and the Case of the Arab Spring
This paper seeks to explore the relationship between the framework of transition and the enactment of a new constitution for Egypt. It does so by using the relatively under explored concept of transitional constitutionalism, interrogating some of the key claims on which transitional constitutionalism is based, and questioning their application in the Egyptian context. By doing this the paper explores the broader paradox of the imposition of a fra…

Utopia and the doubters: Truth, Transition and the Law
Truth commissions have an intuitive appeal in squaring the circle of peace and accountability post-conflict, but some claims for their benefits risk utopianism. Law provides both opportunities and pitfalls for post-conflict justice initiatives, including the operation of truth commissions. Rather than adopting a heavily legalised approach, derived from Public Inquiries, an 'holistic legal model', employing social science fact-finding methodologie…
