The Stabilisation Unit (SU) is a cross-government unit providing expertise to build stability, prevent conflict and meet security challenges internationally.
This paper was commisioned by the SU to bring a gender-sensitive analysis to the Elite Bargains and Political Deals (EBPD) project based on the broad literature on gender, peace processes and post-conflict transitions. It addresses four key research questions:
-
Would applying a gender-sensitive analysis lead to more, altered or entirely different conclusions or recommended approaches to reducing violence and enabling sustainable transitions in conflict-affected countries, than those set out in the EBPD analysis?
-
How does the literature on gender, peace processes and post-conflict transitions and transitional justice challenge, support, or augment the EBPD analysis and conclusions?
-
What are the implications for HMG gender equality policy and legal commitments, and the UK’s aim to support women’s meaningful participation in peace processes and post-conflict transitions?
-
Does the gender analysis of EBPD work highlight any additional/ alternative HMG policy responses or ways of working in such contexts, or suggest additional considerations?
