Inhaltsverzeichnis


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.



Louise Chappell is Senior Lecturer in the School of Economics and Political Science at the University of Sydney, NSW, Australia. Lisa Hill is a Senior Research Fellow in Politics at the University Adelaide, SA, Australia.
