ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in this book. In this concluding chapter, explains the policy and feminist debates surrounding both the Serbian and UK National Action Plans (NAPs) to implement UNSCR 1325. The NAPs are indicative of how post-conflict personal-political imaginations play a part in shaping articulations of gender security. The first part of the conclusions will suggest that it is useful to see the competing modes of thought about gender security as constitutive of ontological identities about security. Second, attention then moves onto a consideration of how people make gender security. This section will address the importance of personal-political imaginations in making a gender security policy, highlighting an alternative understanding of policy-making in international politics, emphasising the importance of personal experiences in conceptualising the political. The final section picks up on the theme of personal-political imaginations about conflict and post-conflict.
