Counterinsurgency, community participation, and the preventing and countering violent extremism agenda in Kenya / Mesok, Elizabeth   Journal Article
Mesok, Elizabeth Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Over the last six years, the P/CVE agenda has emphasized the need of preventative measures to augment kinetic counterterrorism security approaches. Based on field research in Kenya in 2019, this article analyzes the ‘police power’ of P/CVE, which compels populations to participate in their own security and ensure their own governability, otherwise marking them for elimination. P/CVE is read as a mode of civil counterinsurgency that operates to pacify populations seen as threats to a liberal international order through peacebuilding and development initiatives, curtailing the autonomy of civic space and securitizing the work of community organizations.

Sexual violence in the wrong(ed) bodies: moving beyond the gender binary in International Relations / Drumond, Paula ; Zalewski, Marysia ; Mesok, Elizabeth   Journal Article
Zalewski, Marysia Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In 2008, UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1820 recognized sexual violence as a matter of international peace and security, urging the creation of mechanisms for its prevention and response. Yet serious attention to conflict-related sexual violence occupies an ambiguous place in global politics. Even as the emergence of rape as a global threat has sharpened support for and receptiveness to the Women, Peace and Security agenda, feminist IR scholars have exposed how such attention contributes to the essentializing of women as victims and of victims as always women. The continuing focus on sexual violence as perpetrated on female-marked bodies, allegedly because of their gender and their ensuing place in gendered/sexed orders, has prompted critics to call for the development of more inclusive research and policy framings that transcend the male perpetrator/female victim paradigm.
