Item Description:This book brings together a collection of research essays mapping the intersection between gender and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina today. The idea for the book emerged through numerous discussions, both formal and less formal, that we as editors undertook over several years. These discussions addressed the extent to which security-type activities, related to gender, carried out by numerous organisations, have had an impact on and in communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We became concerned by a seemingly prevalent opinion in current literature on gender and security that gender still remains a poor relation in international security documents and policy. Thus, we wanted to create an opportunity for researchers and activists in Bosnia and Herzegovina to articulate ideas and concerns that would go beyond perceiving gender as a mere guideline, through focusing on the effects of gendered security as experienced in everyday life. Therefore, our guiding question in these discussions was and continues to be: what phenomena do researchers and activists feel to be relevant and pressing when it comes to the intersection between gender and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina today?
