Summary:

"How is rebel governance gendered, and how does women’s participation in rebellion affect the development and execution of governance programs? The author develops a framework for evaluating and explaining rebel governance’s gendered dynamics, identifying four areas where attention to women and to gender helps us better understand these institutions: recruitment and internal organization, program expansion, development of new projects, and multi-layered governance relationships. They explore the context and significance of these dynamics using cross-conflict data on rebel governance institutions and women’s participation as well as qualitative evidence from three diverse organizations. They suggest that it is not only the fact of women’s participation that matters but also the gendered nature of social and political relationships that help explain how rebels govern during civil wars. They show how women’s involvement can shape governance content and implementation and how their participation may help rebel groups expand projects and engage with civilian communities"-- Provided by publisher
