E-Books →Gender and Violence against Political Actors

Chapters focus on theoretical approaches demonstrating how different disciplinary starting points-e.g., politics, violence and gender-give rise to different lenses. Essays examine violence carried out during conflict and peacetime, and relate to the continuum of violence-physical, sexual, psychological, and online. In addition, six country case studies reveal how different types of political actors have been targets of violence.
Gender and Violence against Political Actors ends by providing various approaches to responding to the problem of gendered violence in politics while also evaluating policy responses.
