Abstract

“Women, Peace and Security” (WPS) Agenda has been introduced by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) and advocated by its follow-up resolutions. It has four main objectives: “prevention and conflict resolution; protection of women and girls from gender-based violence; participation of women in all stages of decision-making in conflict resolution; and relief and recovery.” The European Union has also developed a perspective on the relationship between gender and security since the mid-2000s in line with the UNSC resolutions on WPS. This study argues that the EU’s approach towards the WPS Agenda is constructed through discourses of the patriarchal global system and representations of women as “victims”, “those to be protected”, and “agency” promoting peace. The study utilises feminist and post-structural views and provides an analysis of the EU’s discourses on WPS.

Özet

“Kadınlar, Barış ve Güvenlik” (KBG) Gündemi ilk olarak Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenik Konseyi’nin 1325 (2000) sayılı kararıyla oluşturulmuş ve onu takip eden başka kararlarla da desteklenmiştir. Gündemin dört temel amacı bulunmaktadır: “önleme ve çatışma çözümü; kadınların ve kız çocuklarının toplumsal cinsiyet temelli şiddetten korunması; kadınların çatışma çözümündeki tüm süreçlere karar-alma aşamalarındaki katılımı; rahatlama ve iyileşme.” Avrupa Birliği de, KGB ile ilgili alınan BM kararlarına uygun olarak 2000’li yılların ortalarından itibaren toplumsal cinsiyet ve güvenlik arasındaki ilişkiye yönelik bir perspektif geliştirmektedir. Bu çalışma, AB’nin KBG Gündemi’ne yönelik perspektifinin, küresel ve ataerkil sistemin söylemleri ve kadınları “kurban”, “korunmayı bekleyen” ve barışı destekleyen “aktörler” olarak nitelendiren temsilleri yoluyla oluşturulduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Çalışma feminist ve post-yapısalcı yaklaşımlara dayanarak AB’nin KBG’ye yönelik söylemlerini analiz etmektedir.
