Gender, Violence and Security: Discourse as Practice
by Laura J. Sheperd



It's a "poststructural feminist critique" that "maps the discursive terrains of institutions [...] which formulate and implement resolutions and guides of practice that affect gender issues in the context of international policy practices." Oh, and don't forget the "domestic-international dichotomy"! If that all sounds confusing, don't worry: the author "develops a compelling discourse-theoretical analysis" to make you understand.
