关于妇女和冲突后重建的研究往往主要侧重于妇女作为受害者和被动的援助对象，而不是将建设和平概念化为妇女更多参与可能有助于增加成功前景的进程。在这里，我认为女性的社会地位是社会资本的一个维度，在很大程度上独立于一般的经济发展。妇女地位相对较高的社会和社区有更大的成功建设和平的前景，因为当地人民对建设和平政策和活动的合作增加了。因此，在联合国领导的建设和平行动中，妇女地位对冲突后重建具有直接和独立的影响。通过观察联合国建设和平任务期间塞拉利昂和利比里亚国家内合作和冲突水平的变化，对理论主张进行了实证评估。
Research on women and post-conflict reconstruction tends to focus primarily on women as victims and passive targets for aid rather than conceptualizing peacebuilding as a process where greater participation by women may help increase the prospects for success. Here, I argue that women’s social status is a dimension of social capital that is largely independent of general economic development. Societies and communities where women enjoy a relatively higher status have greater prospects for successful peacebuilding, as cooperation by the local population with peacebuilding policies and activities increases. Thus, in the presence of a UN-led peacebuilding operation, women’s status has a direct and independent impact on post-conflict reconstruction. The theoretical claims are empirically assessed by looking at variation in levels of cooperation and conflict during the UN peacebuilding missions within the countries of Sierra Leone and Liberia.
