Primero, resume los patrones de variación en la forma y extensión de ésta a través de varias situaciones de guerra. En particular, se documenta la ausencia de violencia sexual en algunos conflictos y por parte de algunos grupos armados. Después de discutir los retos metodológicos para compilar y analizar la información sobre la violencia sexual, se argumenta que el tema amerita un amplio análisis comparativo debido a que ocurre una variación lo suficientemente amplia en casos muy bien documentados. Se evalúa si los mecanismos de causalidad identificados en la literatura (con frecuencia implícitamente) explican la variación. Como conclusión, se realiza un esquema del marco analítico para el estudio de la violencia sexual como parte de los repertorios de violencia de los grupos armados y se sugieren varias vías de investigación que pueden contribuir al entendimiento académico de la violencia sexual y de otras formas de violencia.IEPRI, Universidad Nacional de Colombia2019-06-29T09:20:24Z2019-06-29T09:20:24Z2009Artículo de revistainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttp://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/ARTapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://repositorio.unal.edu.co/handle/unal/49809http://bdigital.unal.edu.co/43299/spahttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/anpol/article/view/45907Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Análisis PolíticoAnálisis PolíticoAnálisis Político; Vol. 22, núm. 66 (2009); 3-27 0121-4705Wood, Elisabeth Jean (2009) Sexual violence during the war: towards an understanding of variation.
