  • Engendering Security: Lessons from Post-Conflict Central America
    ENGENDERING SECURITY: LESSONS FROM POST-CONFLICT CENTRAL AMERICA by Kimberly Carter A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of Political Science, University of Toronto © Copyright by Kimberly Carter 2013. Engendering Security: Lessons from Post-conflict Central America Kimberly Carter Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Analyzing post-conflict contexts from a feminist perspective sheds light on an important, yet overlooked, fact in peacebuilding research: While human rights are formally recognized and codified by public state and international institutions, the actual possibility of enjoying these rights often depends on whether they are respected or violated in private, often intimate, gendered relations. I therefore ask: How might peacebuilding efforts bridge the gap between the promise and practice of women’s rights and basic security in post-conflict contexts? In response, I argue that peacebuilding efforts must foster a feminist vision of positive peace that requires not only the absence of war, but also the elimination of unjust social relations.1 So long as gendered violence is largely excluded from mainstream peacebuilding theories and practices, a robust human rights regime will remain elusive - even in contexts that are otherwise regarded as peacebuilding "success stories." In theory, the protection and promotion of human rights as part of peacebuilding is not very controversial. The challenge, as I illustrate, is in finding ways to make these rights a meaningful reality (i.e. a behavioural practice) in the lives of a post-conflict population. Based on 92 interviews and extensive participant-observation research in El Salvador, Guatemala, and 1 J.
