Abstract

The Political Economy of Conflict and Violence Against Women: Cases from the South is a significant and timely scholarly work that examines the acts of conflict-related and wartime violence against women in the global South. The majority of international wars and conflicts are often characterised as power battles over natural resources or control of land. Feminist scholars challenge this narrative and identify structural inequalities embedded in conflicts and war, where patriarchy is being renegotiated in the household, community, and/or globally. This book is an excellent addition to this alternative, feminist literature. The Political Economy of Conflict and Violence Against Women adopts a feminist political economy approach1 and across six chapters and an introduction explains how gendered violence is deeply rooted in the domestic and international political and economic systems connected to conflict and war in the global South.
