The Failure of Gender Interventions in Timor-Leste
Book •
Melissa Johnston's "Building Peace, Rebuilding Patriarchy" examines the complex interplay of gender, class, and power in post-conflict Timor-Leste.
The book analyzes the impact of various gender interventions, revealing how well-intentioned initiatives can inadvertently reinforce existing inequalities.
Johnston uses a feminist political economy framework to understand the uneven outcomes of these interventions, highlighting the role of kinship structures and elite consolidation.
The study challenges conventional approaches to peacebuilding, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of local contexts and power dynamics.
Ultimately, the book offers critical insights into the limitations of top-down approaches and the importance of addressing structural inequalities for lasting peace.
