Abstract [en]

When the United Nations Security Council adopted UNSCR 1325, women, peace, and security became a part of the global security agenda. It has resulted in the development of new normative and legal frameworks for the international community, as well as national action plans that translate the Women, Peace and Security agenda's principles into national policies. Despite extensive work and international engagement, women are still disproportionately affected by war and conflicts. This study wishes to explore the conceptualization and discourse in the Swedish NAP and its problem representations of the issues WPS seeks to address explore through analysing the Swedish National Action Plan for the implementation of the UNSecurity Council Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security 2016-2020. This is accomplished using Carol Bacchi's What's the problem represented to be? approach, a poststructural and Foucault-inspired notion of discourse and policy as discourse, to analyse the problem representations in the NAP through a feminist analysis. Some of the findings include that Sweden can assist with gender equality expertise and that women are portrayed as actors, tools, resources, victims and in need of protection.
