Rezensionen

'Dr. Corcoran effectively argues that gender equality in peacekeeping is essential for the achievement of the optimal capability and efficiency of UN operations. She approaches the subject from a quintessentially practical perspective having served in the UN for about 18 years, in three peacekeeping operations.'

Bertrand Ramcharan, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

'Dr. Corcoran has consolidated the factors which have compromised the advancement of gender equality in her book. Her experience as a practitioner places her in a unique position to have conducted this research. For those genuinely interested in furthering the goals of UNSCR 1325, this book clearly identifies the issues surrounding its slow progress and in doing so provides an insight into how it can be progressed in a more meaningful way.'

Major General Ret'd. Maureen O'Brien, retired member of the Irish Defense Forces with 8 UN deployments
