Most Western democracies established women's policy agencies to improve the status of women by the 1990s. However, the political context has changed drastically: developments such as welfare state reform, multilevel governance, regionalization and decentralization have impinged on opportunities for agencies and women's movements to mobilize. One of the book's key questions is how have women's policy agencies been able to develop, maintain or enhance their roles in the transformed political context and how have women's movements adapted to change in twelve states.
Where is feminist state theory today? This book offers novel
insights into social science debates by analyzing feminist theories
of the state. It argues that we need feminist tools for analyzing
states and focuses on two debates, domestic violence and childcare,
as areas where feminists discursively construct the state. These
themes are developed within a comparative perspective. Focusing on
devolution in Scotland and the European Union, the book further
explores how feminist state theories conceive multi-level
governance.
