Gender, Politics and Institutions

Institutions - the formal and informal 'rules of the game' - profoundly shape political life. Political institutions are also gendered. This groundbreaking collection synthesizes institutionalism and gendered analysis taking a new approach, looking at feminist institutionalism in order to answer crucial questions about power inequalities, mechanisms of continuity, and the gendered limits of change. The collection sets out a new research agenda on gender, politics and institutions.
