ABSTRACT
This synthesis focuses on one of the missing links in the theory and practice of post-conflict state-building: gender. After the introduction, the paper is divided into four parts. The first section briefly introduces the interaction (or lack thereof) between the theory and practice of post-conflict state-building and gender. The following section outlines two arguments, one instrumentalist and the other normative, for why gender should matter to state-building. The final sections consist of a short conclusion and some implications for policy.
