Beskrivelse
This PhD thesis focuses on how Danish soldiers negotiate their military identities and their role as peacekeepers and peacebuilders through the assignments they carry out domestically and internationally. This entails an analysis of narrative negotiations over who is considered qualified to serve in and work as military professionals and what this means for the gendered dynamics within the force. More closely, the project focuses on Royal Danish Air Force and examines institutional, personal, and social narratives including the ways in which these relate to (global/national/local) narratives on gender, peace, and security. This is done through a narrative analysis of my main empirical data of 24 individual interviews with male and female soldiers who are actively serving in the Danish military and who have been on international missions. This is combined with an analysis of official documents from the Danish Armed Forces and the Royal Danish Air Force including the 2011 diversity plan, four National Action Plans on UNSCR 1325, recruitment material as well as material from webpages of the two Wings; Air Control Wing and Air Transport Wing.| Periode | 3 maj 2021 |
