'This refreshingly engaging book with multidimensional perspectives is a must-read for all. It is an outstanding contribution to global discourse on women’s equality and empowerment in the crucial area of peace and security. The substantive, powerful and well-articulated writings add to a comprehensive understanding of the women, peace and security agenda which enters its third decade.'--Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury, Former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and President of the UN Security Council in March 2000'If you have been waiting for a pragmatic book on gender and security, this is it. Every fact-filled chapter is organized around the obstacles, drivers, and strategies for improving gender-based security, focusing on the "gender balance of power" as "the ultimate balance of power in human affairs."'-- Jack Snyder, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Relations, Columbia University, USA'Global security in all its dimensions can never be achieved until the security community takes gender and women’s equality seriously. The authors of this fine book tell us why. A must read for those in the security community – scholars, activists and policymakers alike who aspire to creating a more peaceful world.'-- J. Ann Tickner, Distinguished Scholar in Residence, American University, USA'This edited volume features an all-star line up of some of the most articulate voices within the Women, Peace, and Security community today. One could not ask for a more approachable, one-stop shop of all things WPS. An extremely useful contribution that will surely have a long shelf life!'-- Valerie M. Hudson, Professor and George H.W. Bush Chair, Texas A&M University, USA
