Unveiling Inclusion in Peace Negotiations Through Women’s Political Representation

  • Isa Lima Mendes

摘要

This chapter has two goals—first, to promote a critical discussion of women’s representation, which will help to clarify the specific concept of political representation that is adopted in the book, and second, to close the theoretical circle of this research by proposing an analytical framework that looks at the inclusion of women in peace negotiations through that concept of political representation. The chapter is crosscut by critical and feminist approaches of the concept, which are important for identifying fundamental issues and exclusions that are embedded within dominant views of representation. Against such views, critically approaching political representation entails recognizing it as a constitutive and at all times disputed dynamic between collective subjects.
