ABSTRACT

In the twenty years since the adoption of United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 on “women, peace and security” (in 2000), civil society organisations have continued to shape the agenda's development and work towards its implementation, although geographical and other disparities in recognition, access, and authority over the agenda exist. In this research, we explore the online interactions among civil society organisations working on policy and practice related to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. Informed by a postcolonial theoretical framework, and using social network analysis, we analyse data from the Twitter and Facebook accounts of a WPS social network, seeded by social media pages of 21 organisations. Our data suggest that a small group of organisations based in the global North have disproportionate visibility in online activities related to the WPS agenda, and that this has implications for issues of diversity and representation in the network.

摘要

自联合国安全理事会通过关于“妇女、和平与安全”的第 1325 号决议（2000 年）以来的 20 年里，民间社会组织继续推动议程的制定并努力实施，尽管承认地域和其他方面的差异、访问和对议程的授权是存在的。在这项研究中，我们探讨了致力于与妇女、和平与安全 (WPS) 议程相关的政策和实践的民间社会组织之间的在线互动。在后殖民理论框架的指导下，并使用社交网络分析，我们分析了来自 WPS 社交网络的 Twitter 和 Facebook 帐户的数据，这些数据由 21 个组织的社交媒体页面播种。
