TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Gender and countering violent extremism in women, peace and security national action plans JO - European journal of politics and gender A1 - Asante, Doris A1 - Shepherd, Laura J. SP - 311 EP - 330 VL - 3 IS - 3 N2 - Using discourse analysis, this research explores the representation of gender roles and identities in relation to counter-terrorism/countering violent extremism in 38 national action plans for the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) and associated United Nations Security Council resolutions. Representations of gender in relation to counter-terrorism/countering violent extremism in the national action plans that we analyse fix women in subordinate and passive subject positions while presuming that men are inherently violent and extremist. These findings have implications not only for scholarship on the Women, Peace and Security agenda, but also for policy practice in this area.
