本文介绍了与冲突和冲突后环境中的性别安全问题相关的族裔概念。女权主义研究表明,由于身份和权力问题,男性和女性在冲突和冲突后局势中的经历有所不同。国家和性别身份以及妇女在全球和地方权力结构中的不利地位结合起来使妇女处于危险之中,同时几乎没有为她们提供表达安全问题的空间。关于女性作为女性边界制定者的理论表明,族裔性似乎在一定程度上是通过男性对性别身份的控制而被创造、维持和社会化的,以及女性的基本人权和尊严如何经常陷入男性权力斗争中。在冲突后环境中,性别建构似乎因国家身份形成和重组议程而变得更加复杂,其中往往包括对种族的关注,以及由于国际社会到来而出现的竞争性“兄弟会”的存在。
This article introduces the concept of ethnicity in relation to gendered security problems in conflict and post-conflict settings. Feminist research has established that men and women experience conflict and post-conflict situations differently owing to issues of identity and power. National and gendered identities and women's disadvantageous location within global and local power structures combine to put women at risk, while simultaneously providing little room for them to voice their security problems. Theories on women as female boundary-makers show how ethnicity appears in part to be created, maintained and socialized through male control of gender identities, and how women's fundamental human rights and dignity are often caught up in male power struggles. In post-conflict settings, gender construction appears to be further complicated by both national agendas of identity formation and re-formation, which often include an ethnic focus, and the presence of a competing 'fraternity' as a consequence of the arrival of the international community.
