Feminist Peace Research in Europe: A Snapshot

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter explores the long trajectory of European feminists' contributions to peace research. Specifically, the coalescing of knowledge via specific Centers of Excellence has supported the recent development of feminist peace research (FPR) in Europe. FPR has also been influenced by the global normative framework of the Women, Peace and Security agenda (WPS), which relies on research conducted outside of Europe. While the diversity of WPS informed research evidences a thriving FPR field in Europe, it also reveals the limitations of what constitutes `Europe.' Ultimately, the chapter shows how FPR remains exclusionary, with implications for knowledge production hierarchies.
