This is presumably because for a large number of researchers working on conflict, gender is seen as either an irrelevance or a minority issue. This no doubt stems in great part from the unfortunate conflation of women and gender in a world in which females and their affairs continue to be seriously undervalued, particularly those from the global south (wright 2006). However, it perhaps also arises from an (unarticulated and probably unconscious) fear of what a well-aimed view through a gender analytical lens might expose both of men and masculinities and of the internal workings of global power relations.
