Topics covered within the book include an analysis of the collective security regime under the United Nations system and the developing powers of the Security Council, as well as a critical review of the five Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security. Throughout the text, state practise and institutional documentation are analysed alongside key instances of the use of force.

This book analyses international laws on the use of force from a feminist perspective. The book highlights key conceptual barriers to the enhanced application of the law of the use of force, and demonstrates the capacity of feminist legal theories to enlarge our understanding of international legal dilemmas.
