The Law of War and Peace: Volume Two offers a cutting-edge analysis of the relationship between law, armed conflict, gender and peace. This second volume focuses on peace and the law after war and during the post-conflict period, examining the post-conflict legal structures that regulate peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and peace agreements. It also offers a gender analysis of environmental security and explores food security and transitional justice. Across the book the authors examine the laws that are situated and developed to promote the shift from armed conflict to peace, as well as the role of militarism and military masculinities in the production of ‘the everyday’ of so-called peacetime states. They reflect on the possibility for feminist change in the law on war and peace, as understood through a gender analysis, and encourage dialogue beyond the confines of these pages, in a slow and considered commitment to queer feminist peace.

The Law of War and Peace offers a cutting-edge analysis of the relationship between law, armed conflict, gender and peace. This book, which is the first of two volumes, focuses on the interplay between international law and gendered experiences of armed conflict. It provides an in-depth analysis of the key debates on collective security, unilateral force, the laws governing conflict, terrorism and international criminal law. While much of the current scholarship has centered on the UN Security Council's Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security, this two-volume work seeks to move understandings beyond the framework established by WPS. It does this through providing a critical and intersectional approach to gender and conflict which is mindful of transnational feminist and queer perspectives.
