Survival of a species can be sub-divided into two main categories that
determine everything. These categories, simply put, are food and sex; or, the
need for all species to consume and reproduce. When political theorists focus
on a problem, they focus on the consumption variable in its various forms as
it relates to civilization, like poverty. Very few focus on the need for a species
to reproduce in order to survive, or that reproduction is politically important.
Gender Relations can be used in a new way to study mating systems across
the planet, and can formulate a theory that unlocks the mysteries of political
phenomenon.
This book seeks the answer to one fundamental question: Under what
conditions will sub-state actors turn to political violence or terrorism?
Combining social science research in various fields of study including
archeology, anthropology, history, political science, psychology, and
sociology, this book develops a unique approach that attributes the
development of political discourse to changes within a gendered system.
Unlike previous theories of terrorism that connect discourse to
authoritarianism, brainwashing, or inequalities in economics, gender relations
are argued to be the essential key between war and peace. Utilizing both
quantitative and qualitative evidence, this study aims to demonstrate the
existence of a correlation between terrorism and gender relations.
