Abstract

Twenty years after the signing of the United Nations' first resolution on Women, Peace, and Security Agenda 1325, the implementation of its goals is still patchy and incomplete. The problem of this chapter is based on a connection between the inscribed gender images and the unequal participation of women and men in peace and conflict work. The following research question is asked: What is the gender image in the resolutions on the women, peace, and security agenda of the United Nations? Is there a connection between the inscribed gender images and the weak participation of women in peace and conflict work? This chapter investigates which subject positions are granted to women within the resolution sphere and how it impacts their agency using a modified version of Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis (CDA). The debates on the “Women, Peace and Security Agenda” to which reference is made come from feminist peace and conflict research and feminist international relations
