TI  - The European Union’s Approach to “Women, Peace and Security”: Discourses, Representations and Constructions
AB  - “Women, Peace and Security” (WPS) Agenda has been introduced by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) and advocated by its follow-up resolutions. It has four main objectives: “prevention and conflict resolution; protection of women and girls from gender-based violence; participation of women in all stages of decision-making in conflict resolution; and relief and recovery.” The European Union has also developed a perspective on the relationship between gender and security since the mid-2000s in line with the UNSC resolutions on WPS. This study argues that the EU’s approach towards the WPS Agenda is constructed through discourses of the patriarchal global system and representations of women as “victims”, “those to be protected”, and “agency” promoting peace. The study utilises feminist and post-structural views and provides an analysis of the EU’s discourses on WPS.
