Arimatsu & Chinkin: Gendered Peace through International Law

Louise Arimatsu
(London School of Economics - Centre for Women, Peace and Security) & Christine Chinkin (London School of Economics - Centre for Women, Peace and Security) have published Gendered Peace through International Law (Hart Publishing 2024). Here's the abstract:

Two leading feminist lawyers reflect on gender in international law to set out what a gendered peace might look like and its impact on international law in this open access book.

In order to challenge orthodoxies, the book takes an unconventional approach, merging personal reflections, expert essays, and interviews. It throws the disciplinary net wide, drawing on international law, gender studies, international relations and history. The authors, undisputed global leaders in the field, challenge the reader to unlearn international law, in order to relearn it in a way that makes it more fit for purpose in the contemporary world. This seminal work is a clarion call to think about international law in a new and transformative way.
