Peacemaking in Asia and the Pacific: Women's Participation, Perspectives and Priorities
The book Peacemaking in Asia and the Pacific: Women’s Participation, Perspectives and Priorities examines the critical contributions of women to peacebuilding efforts across diverse conflict-affected regions in Asia and the Pacific. It highlights how women, often marginalized in formal peace processes, play transformative roles in grassroots movements, mediation, and post-conflict recovery. Through empirical studies and regional analyses, the book explores women’s unique perspectives on peace and security, emphasizing values such as inclusivity, social justice, and reconciliation. The author also discusses the structural and cultural barriers that hinder women’s full participation, including patriarchal norms, political exclusion, and limited access to decision-making arenas. By integrating feminist approaches with peace and conflict studies, the book argues that sustainable peace in Asia and the Pacific requires recognizing women not merely as victims of war but as key agents of change. This work serves as an essential reference for scholars, policymakers, and activists committed to gender-responsive peacebuilding.
