Abstract

Resilience and gender have become new buzzwords for expressing renewal in peacebuilding. This article unpacks the gender-resilience nexus in theory and analyses global trends and variation in peacebuilding policy and practice. It advances an analytical framework based on three central pillars of peacebuilding: process, outcome, and expertise. A comprehensive analysis of 49 international peacebuilding handbooks, produced by leading international organisations for policymakers and practitioners in the field, is conducted. The results show how the integration of the gender-resilience nexus signals new ways of understanding conflict dynamics and peacebuilding. Yet, gender peace expertise is 'thin' with regard to policies and practices of resilient conflict transformation. By way of conclusion, we suggest three directions to be taken in research to advance and refine the gender-resilience nexus. First, the politics and contestation of peacebuilding need to be problematised and explored further. Second, the understanding of resilience in peacebuilding needs to shift emphasis from conflict management to conflict transformation. Third, the positionality of peacebuilding actors and local contexts need to be probed further.

建设和平中的性别复原力关系:寻求可持续和平。

复原力和性别已成为表达重建和平的新流行语。本文从理论上揭示了性别复原力的关系，并分析了建设和平政策和实践的全球趋势和变化。它提出了一个基于建设和平三大核心支柱的分析框架:进程、成果和专门知识。对主要国际组织为该领域的政策制定者和实践者编写的49本国际建设和平手册进行了全面分析。结果表明，性别复原力联系的整合如何标志着理解冲突动态和建设和平的新途径。然而，在弹性冲突转型的政策和实践方面，性别和平专业知识“薄弱”。最后，我们建议在研究中采取三个方向来推进和完善性别恢复力关系。首先，需要对建设和平的政治和争论提出问题并进行进一步探讨。第二，对建设和平韧性的理解需要将重点从冲突管理转向冲突改造。第三，需要进一步探讨建设和平行动者的地位和当地情况。

期刊介绍： JIRD is an independent and internationally peer-reviewed journal in international relations and international political economy. It publishes articles on contemporary world politics and the global political economy from a variety of methodologies and approaches. The journal, whose history goes back to 1984, has been established to encourage scholarly publications by authors coming from Central/Eastern Europe. Open to all scholars since its refoundation in the late 1990s, yet keeping this initial aim, it applied a rigorous peer-review system and became the official journal of the Central and East European International Studies Association (CEEISA). JIRD seeks original manuscripts that provide theoretically informed empirical analyses of issues in international relations and international political economy, as well as original theoretical or conceptual analyses.
