ABSTRACT
This chapter considers some of the ways in which gender is informed and reproduced by processes and practices of post-conflict reconstruction. It considers the ambiguity of the term 'post-conflict reconstruction' to draw our attention to the implications for how gender is informed and reproduced by practices and processes of post-conflict reconstruction. The chapter aims to make sense of the diverse gender dimensions of post-conflict reconstruction. It draws upon the categories used by Elaine Zuckerman and Marcia Greenberg: women-focused activities; developing a gender perspective and gender transformation. The chapter also considers the scholarship that makes sense of power relations between local and international actors in the post-conflict space. It argues that there is a need to develop a specifically feminist analysis of these interactions. The chapter demonstrates that the intersection of gender and the international allows them a nuanced understanding of how gender is informed and reproduced by practices and processes of post-conflict reconstruction.
