"A very valuable and much needed book on a central element in the
processes of social change: the construction and reconstruction of
social norms as they move between global and local levels." -Naila
Kabeer, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK "This
book explores how gender equality norms are ever-evolving and
argues convincingly that we cannot take their effectiveness, nor
their acceptance, for granted." -Judith Kelley, Duke Sanford School
of Public Policy, USA "In an era of increasing resistance to gender
equality, this is a much-needed volume that attends to how gender
equality norms are interpreted and contested in governance
organisations ranging from the UN and the EU to Mercosur and
women's NGOs in India and Uganda." -Ann Towns, University of
Gothenburg, Sweden This edited collection provides a new
theoretical approach to the study of how global norms influence
social processes. It analyses the institutional and highly
political processes whereby actors - be they local, national,
regional or trans-national - engage with global norms of gender
equality. The editors bring together key thinkers who emphasise how
context and history effect norm engagement and how particular
groups and actors tend to be marginalised from discussions of
global norms. By proposing a situated approach that underlines the
contingent, multi-level processes that occur when actors interpret,
use, manipulate, bend, or betray norms, notions of norm diffusion
are fundamentally challenged. This book makes a further crucial
contribution to the study of norms and gender equality in global
governance by analysing very different empirical contexts, from New
Delhi and St. Petersburg to the Organisation of American States,
and from Kampala and New York to the European Union.
