• 1. Introduction: The new war puzzle 2. ‘New’ Wars and Gender 3. Making Men, Making War 4. Gender and New War in Sierra Leone 5. New War in South Sudan 6. Protest and Opposition: challenging the patriarchal bargains in war 7. Conclusion: Unmaking New War

"Despite its short length, Masculinity and New War covers a significant amount of ground: from discussing conceptual approaches to context-informed conflict analysis to policy evaluation.
