Join us for the book launch of Gendered Peace through International Law, a collection of essays co-authored by Louise Arimatsu and Christine Chinkin.

Against the backdrop of shifting global power, the authors reflect on the past, present and future of international law and its co-constitutive relationship with peace, a core, yet often neglected, ambition of law. How does gender, as an analytic tool, help to inform our understanding of hegemonic power to create new pathways to peace? Is there a future for international law? What might it look like?

The event, which takes the form of a conversation, will be followed by an audience Q&A and a drinks reception in the foyer.

The book launch is hosted by LSE Library in partnership with LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security, marking the latest collaborative initiative between the Library and Centre staff dating back to 2018. LSE Library archives provided a rich source of material for the authors whose research work was funded by an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council.
