关于性别与维持和平的研究一直围绕着两大类问题。第一，维持和平有助于建立何种形式的和平？第二，如何执行维持和平行动的性别层面是什么？这些问题的次主题涉及妇女的参与和安全的性别方面是否应成为战后社会的组成部分，以及目前将性别观点纳入主流和平衡政策的效力。我们在本评论中认为，在两性平等与维持和平领域取得了相当大的进展。女权主义研究提出了关于和平与安全的理解和概念化的问题，而经验研究则系统地探讨了维持和平的性别层面。然而，为了使关于性别与维持和平的研究取得进展，它需要解决诸如理论发展不足、缺乏数据和继续被排除在主流研究之外等问题。评论强调，作为一个特别关注的领域，现有的研究未能找到共同点，并概述了建立经验和女权主义研究人员之间的桥梁的机会。
Research on gender and peacekeeping has been revolving around two strands of questions. First, what form of peace does peacekeeping contribute to establishing? And second what are the gender dimensions of how peacekeeping is implemented? Subthemes underlying these questions are concerned with whether women's participation and gender aspects of security should be integral parts of the post-war society and the effectiveness of current gender mainstreaming and balancing policies. In this commentary we argue that there has been considerable progress in the field of gender and peacekeeping. Feminist research has raised questions about the understanding and conceptualisation of peace and security, while empirical research systematically explores the gender dimensions of peacekeeping. Yet, in order for research on gender and peacekeeping to progress, it needs to address issues such as theory underdevelopment, lack of data and continued exclusion from mainstream research. The commentary highlights as an area of particular concern the failure of existing research to find common ground and outlines opportunities of building bridges between empirical and feminist researchers.
