CFP: Women in Conflict, War, and Revolution in Post-Soviet Space

Deadline: March 15, 2025

CFP for an Edited Collection

Questions can be sent to womeninwarandrevolution@gmail.com.

Overview and Scope

The present volume explores the intersection of political, economic, and gender dynamics in the post-Soviet space, focusing on the challenges faced by women as newly independent states redefine their identities while navigating Russia’s sustained imperial ambitions and its newly redefined spheres of influence. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, many former Soviet republics faced persistent political and economic instability. The dissolution, although relatively peaceful overall, was marked by violent conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Chechnya, Georgia, and Ukraine which resulted in significant bloodshed and displacement. In other parts of the newly independent states, there were less bloody encounters and tensions, though political instability and ethnic conflicts were widespread. These conflicts have led to immense human suffering, displacement, and economic turmoil.
