Recenzje

What makes for effective gender policy in postconflict countries? Medie tackles this question, drawing on a wealth of evidence from Liberia and C^ote d'Ivoire. Through a carefully constructed argument, she explores the nature of the interplay between international and domestic pressures and how they resulted in specialized police units (and other such mechanisms) to deal with violence against women. This book will be of great interest to scholars of international organizations, gender and politics, peacebuilding, and Africa.
