| Title | Peace ever? : A Gender Perspective in Conflict Resolution |
| Summary | This research deals with the Kurdish conflict and the attempts for its resolution. In particular, it addresses the questions of the way women’s organizations/politically active women participate in the process of conflict resolution and the kind of discourses Kurdish and Turkish women make use of around the issues of peace and peace-building. I argue that the tension between Kurdish and Turkish women/feminists and the ambiguities within the peace discourse generated around the issues of nationalism, violence, militarism and patriarchy vis-à-vis the women of the two sides, prevents these women from establishing dialogue and collaborating for peace-building. As a result, the contradictions in the way Kurdish and Turkish women treat nationalism and militarism, and the ambiguity around their significance within these concepts inhibits Turkish and Kurdish women to work in coalition for peace. |
