Produktbeschreibung

Until recently, few gender scholars took notice of the impact of state architecture on women's representation, political opportunities, and policy achievements. Likewise scholars of federalism, devolution and multilevel governance have largely ignored their gender impact. This innovative work explores how women's politics is affected by and affects federalism, and assesses the gender implications of devolution and multilevel governance.

Rezensionen

'Just as scholars of political architecture have mostly ignored gender, so too have feminist researchers tended to overlook the structures of government. At long last, we have an impressive volume that both redresses the latter gap and insists on sustained attention to the former one.' Sylvia Bashevkin, University of Toronto, Canada 'Grappling with the complexity of political decision-making in unitary, federal, and multilevel governance systems, this volume investigates the effects of diverse divisions of power, revenue and responsibility on the representation and participation of gendered citizens. Developing rich comparisons across all regions of the globe, the book provides new insights into the possibilities for and barriers to equitable policies and politics.' Mary Hawkesworth, Rutgers University, USA
