{"product_id":"sex-and-world-peace-9780231131827","title":"Sex and World Peace","description":"\u003cp\u003eSex and World Peace unsettles a variety of assumptions in political and security discourse  demonstrating that the security of women is a vital factor in the security of the state and its incidence of conflict and war.  The authors compare micro-level gender violence and macro-level state peacefulness in global settings  supporting their findings with detailed analyses and color maps. Harnessing an immense amount of data  they call attention to discrepancies between national laws protecting women and the enforcement of those laws  and they note the adverse effects on state security of abnormal sex ratios favoring males  the practice of polygamy  and inequitable realities in family law  among other gendered aggressions.  The authors find that the treatment of women informs human interaction at all levels of society. Their research challenges conventional definitions of security and democracy and shows that the treatment of gender  played out on the world stage  informs the true clash of civilizations. In terms of resolving these injustices  the authors examine top-down and bottom-up approaches to healing wounds of violence against women  as well as ways to rectify inequalities in family law and the lack of parity in decision-making councils. Emphasizing the importance of an R2PW  or state responsibility to protect women  they mount a solid campaign against womens systemic insecurity  which effectively unravels the security of all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67622361497653,"sku":"ByrdShop_0231131828","price":32.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780231131827.jpg?v=1791308501","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sex-and-world-peace-9780231131827","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
