Scholars have pinpointed that women's underrepresentation in peacemaking results in gendered outcomes that do not address women's needs and interests. Despite recent increased representation at the negotiating table, women still have a limited influence on peacemaking outcomes. We propose that differences in female and male speeches reflected in the gendered patterns in discourse during peacemaking explain how women's influence is curtailed. We examine women's speaking behavior in transitional justice debates in the post-conflict Balkans. Applying multimethod quantitative text analysis to over half a million words in multiple languages, we analyze structural and thematic speech patterns. We find that men's domination of turn-taking and the absence of topics reflecting women's needs and interests lead to a gendered outcome. The sequences of men talking after men are longer than those of women talking after women, which restricts women's deliberative space and opportunities to develop and sustain arguments that reflect their concerns. We find no evidence that women's limited influence is driven by lower deliberative quality of their speeches. This study of gendered dynamics at the microlevel of discourse identifies a novel dimension of male domination during peacemaking.

性别、正义和审议:为什么女性不影响和平

学者们指出,女性在缔造和平中的代表性不足会导致性别结果无法满足女性的需求和利益。尽管最近在谈判桌上的代表人数有所增加,但妇女对建立和平结果的影响仍然有限。我们认为,建立和平期间话语中性别模式所反映的女性和男性演讲的差异解释了女性的影响力是如何被削弱的。我们研究了冲突后巴尔干地区过渡司法辩论中女性的演讲行为。我们将多方法定量文本分析应用于多种语言的超过 50 万个单词,分析结构和主题语音模式。我们发现,男性主导轮流,而缺乏反映女性需求和兴趣的话题会导致性别化结果。男人在男人之后说话的序列比女人在女人之后说话的序列长,这限制了女性的审议空间和发展和维持反映其关切的论点的机会。我们没有发现任何证据表明女性影响力有限是由于她们演讲的审议质量较低。这项在话语微观层面上对性别动态的研究确定了建立和平期间男性统治的一个新维度。
