Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton Chair in Women, Peace, Security and Justice, Professor Marsha Henry’s The End of Peacekeeping has been published by University of Pennsylvania Press. The book makes use of feminist, postcolonial and anti-militarist theorising in order to frame peacekeeping as a epistemic power project.
After deftly navigating through the extensive body of peacekeeping scholarship, Henry argues that returning to critical theories enables scholars to come to see the patriarchal, colonial/racial, and martial foundations in peacekeeping politics, practice and scholarship. The subsequent conclusion is that peacekeeping is not the benign, apolitical project it is often purported to be, this book encourages readers to imagine and enact alternative futures to peacekeeping.
