Politicization of Sexual Violence

'The important contribution that Politicization of Sexual Violence makes is in revealing exactly how sexualized violence perpetrated by men against women during wartime has been turned into not just a political issue, but into an internationalized political issue. There has been nothing automatic about this issue-creating process. Carol Harrington reveals here how it has happened.' Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, USA, and author of The Curious Feminist 'As a historical account, this book is indispensible. As a theoretical contribution, it is innovative, interesting, and complex...Highly recommended.' Choice ' ...comprehensive study of the politicisation of sexual violence within the international context... The book is written in an accessible, engaging style. Although it will be of interest predominantly within feminist scholarship, its appeal is much broader, and readers of international history and politics will find this book informative and thought-provoking.... the book provides an important reminder to academics and practitioners alike about the agenda that one brings when promoting public awareness of sexual violence.'

Klappentext
The politics of rape was a marginal field until the 1990s when rape suddenly emerged as an international security problem. Carol Harrington traces the historical change in the politicization of rape as an international problem, explaining the fascinating transference of the expert authority gained by early international women's organizations to intergovernmental bureaucracies.
