3. Explain how these breakthroughs have come about, and how the future might bode well or negatively for gender equality among the global political power structure.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:

3. Explain how obstacles to these two concepts have been overcome. Students should touch on the particular examples such as the successful use of arbitration in war in Yugoslavia, and the integration of women into the world's militaries.
