The gender dimensions of social conflict, armed violence and peacebuilding are multifaceted and complex. Quantitative research has demonstrated a strong correlation between levels of gender inequality and violent conflict, suggesting that women’s subordination and vulnerability is a significant predictor of armed violence. These findings are significant and warrant further case-study based analysis. However, the current state of research is frustrating for both feminist and conflict researchers. Feminists criticize the general lack of engagement with their research and tendencies to look at biological causes (i.e. sex) instead of gender for explanation. For conflict researchers, the correlation between gender inequality and civil war onset needs specification as to the mechanisms at work. Due to the limitations of econometric studies, recent conflict research has made a profound turn toward micro-level analysis, analytically distinguishing between macro-level factors causally relevant for the onset of armed conflict, and causes of (micro-level) violence within armed conflict. Although gender inequality has been found to be statistically significant for the onset of civil war, we know little about how gender relations interlink with the micro-level dynamics of social conflicts and peacebuilding. We regard such knowledge as crucial for fine-tuning gender-sensitive peacebuilding, which has become imperative with the passage of Security Council Resolution 1325 . We assemble feminist and conflict researchers from the North and South for a micro-level analysis of gender relations and dynamics of violence and peacebuilding Indonesia/Southeast Asia and Nigeria/West Africa.
