Abstract
Within Peace Research, there is a long tradition of studying the creations and conditions of peace. Within this, Hybrid Peace Theory has constituted a more critical strand, emphasising the importance of the interactions between international and local actors.

This thesis has aimed to contribute to critical peace research by arguing for the importance of including a gender perspective on the Hybrid Peace Theory. Hence, this was done by conducting a case study through a combination of structured and focused comparison and qualitative content analysis on the peace processes in Northern Ireland and Liberia. The thesis genders and criticises Hybrid Peace by highlighting the concepts of Masculinities and Femininities, Agency, Victimhood, Beautiful Souls and ‘womenandchildren’, Public and Private Spheres and Experience of War. The main conclusions drawn are that the Hybrid Peace theory does not provide a perspective that is inclusive enough to understand the interactions between local and international levels. The thesis argues that a gender perspective facilitates the understanding of the complexities inhabited in these interactions. Hence, Hybrid Peace can be seen as the umbrella and by gendering it a deeper understanding of peace is provided. Lastly, the thesis attempted to propose a Gendered Hybrid Peace. (Less)
