Gewalt, Krieg und Flucht

What can feminist perspectives do for the critical study of security (policies)? With theoretical and empirical contributions, the authors demonstrate the strength and importance of a feminist perspective on the topic of security, which also extends beyond the political science debate. The authors question traditional security concepts and broaden the understanding of war, violence and security by including gender relations. In particular, the significance of economics, law and migration is taken into account in the context of gender and security.
