Resilience and gender have become new buzzwords for expressing renewal in peacebuilding. This article unpacks the gender-resilience nexus in theory and analyses global trends and variation in peacebuilding policy and practice. It advances an analytical framework based on three central pillars of peacebuilding: process, outcome, and expertise. A comprehensive analysis of 49 international peacebuilding handbooks, produced by leading international organisations for policymakers and practitioners in the field, is conducted. The results show how the integration of the gender-resilience nexus signals new ways of understanding conflict dynamics and peacebuilding. Yet, gender peace expertise is ‘thin’ with regard to policies and practices of resilient conflict transformation. By way of conclusion, we suggest three directions to be taken in research to advance and refine the gender-resilience nexus. First, the politics and contestation of peacebuilding need to be problematised and explored further. Second, the understanding of resilience in peacebuilding needs to shift emphasis from conflict management to conflict transformation. Third, the positionality of peacebuilding actors and local contexts need to be probed further.

建设和平中的性别复原力关系:寻求可持续和平

复原力和性别已经成为表达建设和平复兴的新流行语。本文从理论上分析了性别与复原力之间的关系,并分析了建设和平政策和实践中的全球趋势和变化。它提出了一个基于建设和平的三个核心支柱的分析框架:过程、结果和专业知识。对主要国际组织为该领域的决策者和从业者制作的 49 份国际建设和平手册进行了全面分析。结果表明,性别复原力关系的整合如何标志着理解冲突动态和建设和平的新方法。然而,在弹性冲突转变的政策和实践方面,性别和平专业知识“薄弱”。作为结论,我们建议在研究中采取三个方向,以推进和完善性别复原力关系。首先,建设和平的政治和争论需要问题化和进一步探索。其次,对建设和平复原力的理解需要将重点从冲突管理转移到冲突转化。第三,需要进一步探讨建设和平参与者的地位和当地情况。
