Agency and Accountability: Promoting Women's Participation in Peacebuilding
回顾了国际政策与实践，发现正式和平谈判、冲突后选举和经济复苏中促进妇女能动性的效果不佳，原因包括优先考虑“破坏者”群体、国际决策者不愿采取平权措施以及经济复苏中的最小国家方法，并提出需要更积极的国家方法来恢复妇女生计。
This contribution reviews international policy and practices to engage women in formal peace talks, post-conflict elections, and economic recovery, and finds a combination of factors contributing to poor performance in promoting women's agency. The fact that the privileged category for post-conflict decisions are those groups capable of acting as “spoilers” has tended to exclude women's groups from the categories considered most important to involve in decision making. Exacerbating this exclusion is the reluctance of international decision makers to encourage affirmative action measures in these contexts. This carries through to the minimal-state approach to economic recovery efforts. Provisions are needed to foster and invite women's voice in decision making, and build more active-state approaches to women's livelihood recovery.
