This book looks at the centerpiece of the international women's
rights discourse, the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of
Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and asks to what extent it
affects the lives of women worldwide. Rather than assuming a
trickle-down effect, the author discusses specific methods which
have made CEDAW resonate. These methods include attempts to
influence the international level by clarifying the meaning of
women's rights and strengthening the Convention's monitoring
procedure, and building connections between international and
domestic contexts that enable diverse actors to engage with CEDAW.
This analysis shows that while the Convention has worldwide impact,
this impact is fundamentally dependent on context-specific values
and agency. Hence, rather than thinking of women's rights
exclusively as normative content, Zwingel suggests to see them as
in process. This book will especially appeal to students and
scholars interested in transnational feminism and gender and global
governance.
