Abstract

Windows of Opportunity depicts how women's advocacy groups seize peace processes to reconfigure their role in the state. It provides an overview of women's rights found in 195 peace agreements signed between 1975 and 2011 as well as an in-depth analysis of three case studies: Burundi, Macedonia, and Northern Ireland.
