Following a brief view of the historical formation of feminist ideas concerning women and war during the 20th century, the course will focus upon recent attempts to secure women's rights during and after armed conflict and their empowerment through peace-building. Special attention will be given to the development of international norms, practices and institutions designed by the United Nations.
