Gendercide: The State of Study
http://www.allacademic.com//meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/0/7/2/9/4/pages72942/p72942-1.php
This paper provides a broad overview of recent research into gendercide, that is, mass killing on the basis of gender (defined here as the continuum of biological sex and culturally-constructed masculinity and femininity). The paper explores the early articulation of a gendercide framework by Mary Anne Warren; the author's own attempted revision of Warren's framing; and the critical perspectives advanced by Charli Carpenter and Stuart Stein, among others. A brief comparative-historical analysis of gendercide phenomenon is followed by thoughts on its relevance to issues of humanitarian intervention, human-rights activism, and economic globalization. The conclusion explores whether gendercide remains as prominent in political-military conflicts and social institutions worldwide as in the past, and whether its prominence is likely to decrease or increase in the future.

http://www.allacademic.com//meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/0/7/2/2/0/pages72204/p72204-1.php
Through the lense of conventional International Relations many experiences and realities of warfare are overlooked. While realist paradigm can not be dismissed, evidence from the conflicts in Bosnia and Rwanda suggests that it is necessary to adopt a theory of conflict that may account for strategies of warfare, specifically rape, that funtion beyond the realm of 'P'olitical interactions. The purpose of this paper is to examine evidence of the use of systematic rape as a tool of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Rwanda. The paper will critique conventional IR in order to articulate the necessity of incorporating a feminist analysis into the study of conflict.
