Gendering Crisis Management : Examining the Role of Gender in the Report of The Parliamentary Committee on Crisis Management

Kopsa, Kaisa January 2021 (has links)
The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of how gender is discussed in the context of Finnish crisis management. By utilizing the report of the Parliamentary Committee on Crisis Management as a single case study, the study seeks to examine if and how the report embodies elements of liberal feminism in its discussion on gender. Since this study is based upon liberal feminism, specific coding was applied to identify those parts of the report that discuss gender, with each coding category deriving from liberal feminist philosophy. The findings of this study suggest that the discussion on gender in the context of Finnish crisis management is strongly focused on women and especially, efforts to strengthen the presence of female experts in crisis management operations. By highlighting the need to strengthen equal gender distribution among experts employed to crisis management operations, the report embodies several liberal feminist values, such as achieving gender equality. However, as the report only discusses gender in terms of women and girls, it excludes both men and boys. Based on these findings, this study argues that the way the report embodies liberal feminist thinking is potentially problematic since its discussion on gender does not consider men and women to an equal extent.
