Rape - A Matter of History 4. Securitization of Rape - The Application: Case Study I, Bosnia 5. Securitization of Rape - The Application: Case Study II, Rwanda 6. Conclusion: Rape - A Matter of HumanityReviewsThe Securitization of Rape is a powerful, well-written, and well-researched exploration of the history, legal status, and theorization of wartime rape. What makes the book a singular contribution, though, is the combined empirical depth and theoretical sophistication. After several decades of conversation about rape as a weapon of war, Hirschauer's use of securitization theory is both a fresh take and a smart approach. It makes the book a must-read for students and scholars. - Laura Sjoberg, University of Florida, USA """The Securitization of Rape is a powerful, well-written, and well-researched exploration of the history, legal status, and theorization of wartime rape.

By foregrounding securitization theory, Hirschauer not only reaffirms the rape-security connection, but also illustrates the flawed and often violent (re)production of gender. This book makes a compelling argument for the emergence of a gradually maturing universal normative framework. All readers will benefit from her accessible yet sophisticated exploration of 'speech acts' and their complex legacies."" - Heidi Hudson, University of the Free State, South Africa" Author InformationSabine Hirschauer is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Trauma, Forgiveness and Reconciliation Studies at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
