Abstract

Traditionally, women have been viewed as having little agency in wars and conflicts. Women were thought neither to cause the wars nor to fight them. When women were considered at all by scholars of war, they were conceived of primarily as victims. As women gained the franchise and ultimately began to be elected into political office in advanced democracies, some scholars began to consider the foreign policy implications of this—that is, do women’s attitudes toward war and defense policy differ from those of men and do these views produce different outcomes at the ballot box? Furthermore, do women behave differently with regard to security issues once in national office? Does their presence change the way their male colleagues vote on these issues? In recent decades, scholarship emerging first from critical feminist theory and later from positivist political scientists has begun to look more explicitly for women’s roles, experiences, and influences on and in conflict. This work has led to the recognition that, even when victimized in war, women have agency, and to the parallel conclusion that men’s agency is not as complete as scholars, practitioners, and the public have often assumed. This bibliography provides an overview of the development of women and conflict literature as well as several prominent themes and questions within the literature. It is of necessity incomplete and interested scholars are encouraged to review related articles in Oxford Bibliographies in International Relations, such as “Feminist Security Studies” by Kristen P. Williams, and “Women and Peacemaking/Peacekeeping” by Sabrina Karim and Kyle Beardsley.

妇女与冲突研究
传统上,人们认为妇女在战争和冲突中几乎没有代理权。妇女被认为既不会引起战争,也不会与战争作斗争。当战争学者考虑女性时,她们主要被认为是受害者。随着女性获得选举权并最终开始当选为发达民主国家的政治职位,一些学者开始考虑这对外交政策的影响——也就是说,女性对战争和国防政策的态度与男性不同吗?这些观点在投票箱中会产生不同的结果吗?此外,女性一旦担任国家公职,在安全问题上的表现是否有所不同?他们的出现是否改变了男性同事在这些问题上的投票方式?近几十年来,首先来自批判性女权主义理论,后来来自实证主义政治学家的学术界开始更明确地关注女性在冲突中的角色、经历和影响。这项工作使人们认识到,即使在战争中受害,女性也有代理权,并得出了同样的结论,即男性的代理权并不像学者、从业者和公众通常认为的那样完整。本参考书目概述了妇女与冲突文学的发展,以及文学中的几个突出主题和问题。它必然是不完整的,鼓励感兴趣的学者查阅《牛津国际关系参考书目》中的相关文章,如Kristen P.Williams的《女权主义安全研究》,以及Sabrina Karim和Kyle Beardsley的《妇女与缔造和平/维持和平》。
