Denise M. Horn

Women, Civil Society and the Geopolitics of Democratization (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Denise M. Horn offers a fresh, innovative feminist-constructivist perspective to the debates about democratization and civil society by arguing that Western gender norms-i.e. those norms that determine degrees of participation within civil society-inform the policies of hegemonic powers and transform the foundations of civil society in transitional states.
