Abstract
The study of women’s empowerment, in all the meanings outlined in this volume by Rowlands, must rest on the conceptualisation and analysis of gender relations, as the other chapters in the volume amply demonstrate. Yet such a conceptualisation and analysis is still rarely located within other concerns of social science. The engendering of a discipline which is required by the effective integration of gender-aware analyses is all too slow and partial, albeit differentially so in different areas of study. In this chapter we explore the chances of this process occurring in the study of conflict, with a view to assessing the degree to which women’s situations in the ending of conflict might lead to conditions which are conducive to their empowerment
