This new study reveals how institutional practices and
discourses shape the way men and women are conceived of, and how
through this process, gender stereotypes and expectations are
created.
Informed by the latest research and trends, these expert authors
examine the way in which domestic and global institutions shape and
reflect gender interests and the extent to which feminists can
challenge gender norms through political institutions.
They examine regional, national and international institutions
including the EU, ICC and UN and take a broad view of political
institutions to include bureaucracy; federalism; legal structures;
parliaments; voting and electoral institutions; and media coverage
of womena (TM)s involvement in such institutions.
Drawing on experiences in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and New
Zealand this book will be of great interest to students and
scholars of gender studies, political science and comparative
politics.
