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. For the first time, this book explores
how women's politics is affected by and affects federalism, whether
in Australia, Canada, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia or the US.
Equally, it assesses the gender implications of devolution and
multilevel governance in the European Union, including case studies
of the UK and Germany. Globally, multilevel governance is providing
new arenas for women's politics. For example, CEDAW (the UN
Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
against Women) has led most governments to adopt gender-equality
norms while other UN instruments have supported Aboriginal
self-government. Gender scholars will find especially valuable what
is revealed about the impact of political architecture on a broad
range of policy issues, including gay marriage, reproductive rights
and childcare. Federalism scholars will benefit from the book's
wide range of cases, comparative themes and combination of gender
and federalism perspectives. Written by leading experts, this book
fills an important gap in both literatures.
