Bare branches : security implications of Asia's surplus male population
Hudson, Valerie M., 1958-Cambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, c2004.What happens to a society that has too many men? In this provocative book, Valerie Hudson and Andrea den Boer argue that, historically, high male-to-female ratios often trigger domestic and international violence. Hudson and den Boer suggest that the sex ratios of many Asian countries, particularly China and India - which represent almost 40 percent of the world's population - are being skewed in favor of males on a scale that may be unprecedented in human history. Through offspring sex selection (often in the form of sex-selective abortion and female infanticide), these countries are acquiring a disproportionate number of low-status young adult males, called "bare branches" by the Chinese. Hudson and den Boer argue that this surplus male population in Asia's largest countries threatens domestic stability and international security. The prospects for peace and democracy are dimmed by the growth of bare branches in China and India, and, they maintain, the sex ratios of these countries will have global implications in the twenty-first century.

The book retains its important overview of the relationship between women's oppression and war, with new material covering UN and US-led developments for global women's rights since 2010, analysis of new examples of gender and conflict throughout the world, and updates of the statistical models that support their thesis"--
