Equal Opportunity Peacekeeping

Sabrina Karim, Assistant Professor; Caplan Faculty Fellow, Government Department, Cornell University 

In this seminar, Sabrina Karim focuses on the role women have played in peacekeeping, arguing that increasing the number of women is important, but so are gender norms within peacekeeping missions. She demonstrates that in order to make peacekeeping missions more effective at protecting civilians in war torn countries, particular attention to gender is needed.
