Several countries in the Asia Pacific have demonstrated relative peace and stability. In addition, women’s leadership and participation in peacebuilding are increasingly recognised in the region. However, as the chapters in this book demonstrate, applying a critical gender analysis allows for the interrogation of ‘veneers’ of political order which can mask or normalise everyday gendered insecurities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe analysis of country cases such as Myanmar, Cambodia, and Fiji underscores a rethinking of the political order in the Asia Pacific, which leaves existing gender inequalities intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue in the \u003cem\u003eInternational Feminist Journal of Politics\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607928652012,"sku":"9781138607613","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/deac74bcf2a9314b46ac8a38bfbdf998.jpg?v=1778186394","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-difference-that-gender-makes-to-international-peace-and-security-9781138607613","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
