- Description
- While the significance of motherhood varies across cultures, it is connected to religion, nationality, gender, and sexuality. Reproduction is central to the perceived floroushing of any nation or culture, and thus motherhood is a major signifier of the connections between women and the state. States enact laws limiting who can bear children, initiating and supporting mass sterilization efforts, legislate access to assisted reproductive technologies, adoption, and government support for parenting. .The guiding theoretical idea in this volume is that motherhood matters in global politics. By illuminating and interrogating representations and narratives of maternity, this volume shows how practices of global politics shape and are shaped by the gendered norms and institutions that underpin motherhood. Featuring innovative and intersectional interrogations of the politics of motherhood as an institution, this collection shows that maternality is troubled, complicated, and heterogeneous in global politics.

- Description
- Offering a perspective on the constitutional text and record of multiple jurisdictions, from long-established to newly emerging democracies this book portrays a profound shift in our understanding of what constitutions stand for and what they do. Its central insight is that democratic constitutions must serve the needs and aspirations of all the people, and constitutional legitimacy requires opportunities for participation in both the fashioning and functioning of a country's constitution.

- Description
- The essays in this book constitute a comparative move toward defining new and unified theoretical orientations to studying representation among women. The book begins with a theoretical positioning of the meaning of women's interests, issues and preferences. It then looks at descriptive representation in political parties, high courts, and legislatures, as well as how definitions of ‘interest’ affect who represents women in legislatures and social movements. Chapters include cases from the United States, Latin America, Western Europe and Africa. Contents: 1. Dilemmas in the meaning and measurement of representation / Maria C. Escobar-Lemmon, and Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson: 2. Plotting the path from one to the other / Karen Beckwith: 3.

- Description
- The essays in this volume explore some of the diverse and contradictory ways that the lives of women in the Asia-Pacific region are shaped by two powerful regimes, 'religion' and 'law', and by the interactions between them. They show that for women, laws - customary, colonial. post-independence and international - and religions - indigenous or introduced, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Confucianism - have been 'a mixed blessing'. These diverse legal systems and religious doctrines and institutions have variously denied women authority and the capacity to participate fully in the public organization of social, political and religious life: they have furthermore constructed gender and familial relations in ways that subordinate women.

- Prominence has often been given to the lives and activities of such top female leaders in Asia as Indira Gandhi and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The ability of a small elite of highly educated, upper-class Asian women to obtain the highest political positions in their country is unmatched elsewhere in the world and deserves study. This book looks at political actors in Asia and covers a wide range of Asian countries, offers original data from various perspectives and engages the latest research on women in politics in Asia.

- Description
- Providing interdisciplinary and empirically grounded insights into the issues surrounding gender and migration into and within Europe, this work presents a comprehensive and critical overview of the historical, legal, policy and cultural framework underpinning different types of European migration. Analysing the impact of migration on women's careers, the impact of migration on family life and gender perspectives on forced migration, the authors also examine the consequences of EU enlargement for women's migration opportunities and practices, as well as the impact of new regulatory mechanisms at EU level in addressing issues of forced migration and cross-national family breakdown. The book also offers new insight into the issue of skilled migration and the gendering of previously male-dominated sectors of the labour market.

- Description
- This book explores the extent to which gendered approaches are evident and effective in spatial development in selected European countries. Beginning with an introduction to theories and concepts of gender, space and development, the book includes a brief historical review of gender in spatial planning and development throughout Europe in general, and an overview of different national frameworks in European countries, comparing legal, organisational and cultural similarities and differences. This is followed by a reflection on how simplifications and stereotypes of gender concepts are used in the practice of spatial development. The main part of the book offers a transnational discussion of planning practices on selected thematic topics. It starts with gender-sensitivity in urban master planning and at neighbourhood level referring to different types of planning manuals. Furthermore, the book focuses on gender-sensitive evaluation in urban planning as well as international agendas for sustainable development as a framework for a new generation of gender equality policies.

It does this by building on the growth in literature on women’s working experiences, and by adopting new interpretive approaches that expand received assumptions about what constituted 'work' for women.

- Description
- Collection of speeches and other writing from Catharine Alice MacKinnon (1946), American feminist, scholar and lawyer. In this book, the author argues that the right seemingly minor interventions in the legal realm can have a butterfly effect that generates major social and cultural transformations. The pieces collected here provide a new perspective on her career as a pioneer of legal theory and practice and an activist for women’s rights. Its central concerns of gender inequality, sexual harassment, rape, pornography, and prostitution have defined her intellectual, legal, and political pursuits for over forty years. The selections all share the same motivation: to end inequality, including abuse, in women’s lives.
