Reviews
Since violence against females is the normalizer of all other forms of violence, this book is vital, from family life to foreign policy., highly readable and provides a thought-provoking introduction to the reasons why equality between women and men within the family matters for the relations between states and, ultimately, world peace., This is an important, well written, and informative book that will serve a wide audience of graduate and undergraduate students, academics, and policymakers, as well as the interested public., Sex and World Peace is unprecedented. While there have been books on gender and international relations and books exploring the causes of war with statistical analyses of archival data, to my knowledge no other book does both. This is therefore a germinal contribution to the emerging field of gender and international relations. It will also add to the ongoing American debate between realism and idealism in foreign policy. Of course this book will appeal to researchers and advanced graduate students, yet the accessible writing -- leading the reader into the central argument by vivid 'case studies' -- will also make it useful to advanced undergraduates. Finally, practitioners and activists in diplomacy, international aid NGOs, enlightened multinational corporations, and women's and men's organizations aimed at transforming gender relations will find much here that is instructive and useful., Sex and World Peace is unprecedented and therefore unique.

This book connects micro-level incidents of violence against women, as instantiated in such phenomena as inequity in family law, polygamy, and imbalanced sex ratios, to macro level occurrences such as conflict and war. In this way, the authors highlight the way in which legal institutions in particular serve to perpetuate patterns of violence within the family and larger society. These authors argue that the true clash of civilizations does not take place between east and west, Christian and Muslim, but rather occurs in the chasm between men and women, and how the discrepancy between attitudes, expectations, responsibilities and opportunities plays out on the world stage. It provides an important theoretical link which locates the origins of the mechanisms individuals use to establish and sustain hierarchies of dominance in international relations through the use of violence within the family. This learning then generalizes to other domains throughout life, unconsciously but pervasively aligning dominance in the family to power between states through the threat or use of violence to maintain control over any group constructed as a weaker "other." The implicit and ubiquitous nature of these patterns, in turn, provide unquestioned justification for the repression and protest which spawns conflict in many areas around the globe., Valerie M.

Synopsis
Sex and World Peace argues that the security of women is a vital factor in the overall security of the state and its incidence of conflict and war. The authors compare micro-level gender violence and macro-level state peacefulness in global settings, supporting their findings with detailed analyses and color maps. Their research challenges conventional definitions of security and democracy, and they examine top-down and bottom-up approaches to healing the wounds of violence against women, inequity in family law, and the lack of parity in decision-making councils. Women's systemic insecurity unravels the security of all, and the authors articulate an international policy agenda that reflects this reality., Sex and World Peace unsettles a variety of assumptions in political and security discourse, demonstrating that the security of women is a vital factor in the security of the state and its incidence of conflict and war. The authors compare micro-level gender violence and macro-level state peacefulness in global settings, supporting their findings with detailed analyses and color maps. Harnessing an immense amount of data, they call attention to discrepancies between national laws protecting women and the enforcement of those laws, and they note the adverse effects on state security of abnormal sex ratios favoring males, the practice of polygamy, and inequitable realities in family law, among other gendered aggressions. The authors find that the treatment of women informs human interaction at all levels of society. Their research challenges conventional definitions of security and democracy and shows that the treatment of gender, played out on the world stage, informs the true clash of civilizations. In terms of resolving these injustices, the authors examine top-down and bottom-up approaches to healing wounds of violence against women, as well as ways to rectify inequalities in family law and the lack of parity in decision-making councils. Emphasizing the importance of an R2PW, or state responsibility to protect women, they mount a solid campaign against women's systemic insecurity, which effectively unravels the security of all.
