Power and Protection in the 21st Century
Kathleen Kuehnast, Director, Gender and Peacebuilding Center, USIP
Chantal de Jonge Oudraat, Director, Jenning Randolph Fellowship Program, USIP
The UN Security Council passed Resolution 1325 over ten years ago—calling for women’s equal participation in promoting peace and security and for greater efforts to protect women—but gender-based analysis of conflict is still absent from the mainstream security dialogue. In Women and War co-editors Kuehnast, de Jonge Oudraat, and Hernes evaluate the knowledge on women, peace and security issues and underscore what still needs to be done to develop effective conflict prevention and management strategies which include women.Dr. Kathleen Kuehnast is director of the Gender and Peacebuilding Center at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). Prior to her present position, Kuehnast had a 15-year career in international development, where she worked extensively with the World Bank managing research and programmatic projects and advising policymakers on social development concerns, with a focus on gender. She also previously worked for the Asian Development Bank, the German Technical Cooperation Agency and UNDP. Kuehnast has also written extensively on the impact of post-Soviet transition on Muslim women in Central Asia.Dr. Chantal de Jonge Oudraat directs the USIP’s Jennings Randolph Fellowship Program and as an adjunct associate professor at Georgetown University. Before joining USIP, de Jonge Oudraat was a senior fellow at SAIS’s Center for Transatlantic Relations and received an AICGS Bosch Research Scholar Fellowship. She has also served as co-director of the Managing Global Issues project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; a research affiliate at the Belfer Center at Harvard University; and a member of the directing staff at UN Institute for Disarmament Research in Geneva.
