使用后殖民女权主义的方法，本文认为，在和平干预的性别框架的方式是症状的霸权方式，在自由主义干预模式内的代表性和保护妇女的话语的建设和制度化。通过分析关于包容/排斥、保护以及性暴力和基于性别的暴力的政治的国际论述，它说明了对妇女机构的工具主义解释所产生的剥夺权力的影响。文章的结论是，当国际组织的性别内部运作受到审查时，自由主义建设和平的嵌入式暴力变得更加明显。它提出了一个批判性的后殖民女权主义的愿景，是抵制妇女，性别和自我的普遍主义概念，以克服自由建设和平的理论不足的性别层面。
Using a postcolonial-feminist approach, this article argues that the way in which gender is framed in peace interventions is symptomatic of the hegemonic way in which the discourses about the representation and protection of women within the liberal intervention model are constructed and institutionalized. Through an analysis of international discourses on the politics of inclusion/exclusion, protection, as well as sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), it illustrates the disempowering effect of instrumentalist interpretations of women's agency. The article concludes that the embedded violence of liberal peacebuilding becomes even more pronounced when the gendered inner workings of international organizations, among others, are placed under scrutiny. It proposes a critical postcolonial-feminist vision that is resistant to universalist conceptions of women, gender and self to overcome the under-theorized gender dimensions of liberal peacebuilding.
