Masculinities, change and conflict in global society

男性气质研究的迅速发展极大地增加了我们对男性和性别的理解。这为在个人、社区和国际各级预防暴力开辟了新的前景。为了在当今不断变化的条件下实现这一潜力，需要进行实地研究，探索澳大利亚和国际上男子气概的新模式，将性别与世界社会的变化和冲突联系起来的新理论工作，以及在冲突情况下如何动员男子气概并导致暴力的具体案例研究。这些知识将用于发展预防暴力和缔造和平的新的实用模式。

The rapid development of research on masculinities has enormously increased our understanding of men and gender. This has opended new perspectives for preventing violence at individual, community and international levels. To realize this potential in today's changing conditions requires field research to explore emerging patterns of masculinity in Australia and internationally, fresh theoretical work linking gender with change and conflict in world society, and specific case studies of how masculinities are mobilized in conflict situations and lead towards violence. This knowledge will be used to develop new practical models of violence prevention and peace-making.
