Book Synopsis The Public Law of Gender by : Kim Rubenstein
Download or read book The Public Law of Gender written by Kim Rubenstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the worldwide sweep of gender-neutral, gender-equal or gender-sensitive public laws in international treaties, national constitutions and statutes, it is timely to document the raft of legal reform and to critically analyse its effectiveness. In demarcating the academic study of the public law of gender, this book brings together leading lawyers, political scientists, historians and philosophers to examine law's structuring of politics, governing and gender in a new global frame. Of interest to constitutional and statutory designers, advocates, adjudicators and scholars, the contributions explore how concepts such as equality, accountability, representation, participation and rights, depend on, challenge or enlist gendered roles and/or categories. These enquiries suggest that the new public law of gender must confront the lapses in enforcement, sincerity and coverage that are common in both national and international law and governance, and critically and pluralistically recast the public/private distinction in family, community, religion, customary and market domains.
Book Synopsis Governing Women by : Anne Marie Goetz
Download or read book Governing Women written by Anne Marie Goetz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the proportion of women in national assemblies still barely scrapes 16% on average, the striking outliers – Rwanda with 49% of its assembly female, Argentina with 35%, Liberia and Chile with new women presidents this year – have raised expectations that there is an upward trend in women’s representation from which we may expect big changes in the quality of governance. But getting women into public office is just the first step in the challenge of creating governance and accountability systems that respond to women’s needs and protect their rights. Using case studies from around the world, the essays in this volume consider the conditions for effective connections between women in civil society and women in politics, for the evolution of political party platforms responsive to women’s interests, for local government arrangements that enable women to engage effectively, and for accountability mechanisms that answer to women. The book’s argument is that good governance from a gender perspective requires more than more women in politics. It requires fundamental incentive changes to orient public action and policy to support gender equality.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Women’s Political Leadership on Democracy and Development by : Commonwealth Secretariat
Download or read book The Impact of Women’s Political Leadership on Democracy and Development written by Commonwealth Secretariat and published by Commonwealth Secretariat. This book was released on 2013-12-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women’s minimal leadership role in national and local political spheres remains a serious concern worldwide. The Commonwealth Gender Plan of Action for Gender Equality 2005–2015 calls on governments to introduce measures to promote at least 30 per cent representation of women in parliament, government and business. The Impact of Women’s Political Leadership on Democracy and Development describes the barriers to women’s political participation and explains why the contribution of women is so crucial to democracy. It identifies established strategies – electoral reform (New Zealand), party voluntary quotas (South Africa), and legislative quotas (Bangladesh and India) – that have helped these Commonwealth countries to meet the global target of 30 per cent and thus to effectively advance the participation of women in decision-making at all levels.

Contributors from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the USA provide detailed assessments of the social, economic, and political condition of women, their mobilizations to produce transform gendered power and authority in diverse nations, and their efforts to enhance the quality of their lives, their communities, and democratic governance.
Book Synopsis Women’s Political Participation in Bangladesh by : Pranab Kumar Panday
Download or read book Women’s Political Participation in Bangladesh written by Pranab Kumar Panday and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an understanding of institutional reforms, gender-related policy dynamics, the role of different actors in the policy process, and the impact of a particular policy on the state of women’s political participation in Bangladesh. The discussion is set against the background of the Fourth World Conference on Women, 1995, in Beijing, in which a Platform for Action signed by heads of governments expressed their countries’ commitment to achieve ‘gender equality and empowerment of women’ through ensuring integration of the gender perspective at all levels. In Bangladesh, notable among the initiatives undertaken was the enactment of the Local Government (Union Parishads) (Second Amendment) of 1997, through which one-third of seats were reserved for women in the Union Parishad (UP) and the system of direct election was introduced to elect women members in reserved seats. The Act of 1997 is considered to be a milestone, since it has enhanced women’s participation in the local government politics significantly. Against this background, the specific research questions that have been addressed in this volume include: the necessity of reform for enhancing women’s participation in politics; the context against which the Government of Bangladesh enacted the Act and the reasons such an initiative was not taken earlier; the actors behind the reforms and their role in the reform process; and the impact of the reform on the state of women’s participation at the local level in Bangladesh.

Book Synopsis Essays on Gender and Governance by : Martha Craven Nussbaum
Download or read book Essays on Gender and Governance written by Martha Craven Nussbaum and published by MacMillan India. This book was released on 2005 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between gender and governance has too often been neglected in both theoretical and empirical work. Until very recently, most influential political thought has been built around a conceptual distinction between the public realm of politics, military affairs, and administration, and the private realm of family and domestic life. Women s role, in a wide range of traditions and in theoretical work influenced by them, has typically been associated with the private realm, and men s role with the public realm. The public/private distinction has been thoroughly criticized as being in many ways misleading and untenable. Nonetheless, it continues to influence both theoretical and empirical work, with the result that women s efforts to gain a voice in governance have often been ignored. The papers in this volume aim to set the record straight. They advance a theoretical structure, both positive and normative, within which the question of gendered governance may usefully be pursued. They also analyze some current developments that indicate many ways in which women are actively participating in governance, in both government and the institutions of civil society, and the obstacles that remain. The essays in this volume are the outcome of a year long collaborative exploration of the multiple factors that influence the process of engendering governance in complex societies, in particular the changing roles of various actors including women s movements, the state and civil society.

Book Synopsis Influence of Women's Political Participation on Governance by : Zipporah Imali Wanaswa
Download or read book Influence of Women's Political Participation on Governance written by Zipporah Imali Wanaswa and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Africa, Burundi, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda have achieved the critical 33% representation of women in political decision making organs such as political parties, parliamentary committees and local decision making forums. Women in Africa have proved to be instrumental in promoting political civic education, increased political party membership and mobilization of resources for political campaigns; yet in Kenya, their political participation remains low at 17.3%. Gender imbalances in access to leadership opportunities, participation in resource allocation and decision making limits sharing of development outcomes between girls/women and boys/men; this manifesting itself in lack of accessibility to birth and citizenship registration, low levels of education among women and girls, low household income and high population of poor women and girls. Effective governance entails promotion of institutional frameworks that facilitate efficient governance and accountability. It identifies the rights of people to determine their choices and influence the direction of change through their ability to control resources, achieve and benefit equally from the desired outcomes.

Book Synopsis Regional study on women’s political representation in the Eastern Partnership countries by : Council of Europe
Download or read book Regional study on women’s political representation in the Eastern Partnership countries written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender equality is central to the protection of human rights and the functioning of democracy. It cannot be right that the experiences, skills and concerns of women are not fully represented or reflected in decision making about the laws and functioning of the societies in which they live. The regional study on women’s political representation in the Eastern Partnership countries was commissioned in response to the key objectives of the Council of Europe and the European Commission to address the lack of women’s political representation at national and local level in these countries. Researchers based in each of the countries have contributed qualitative information on both the situation of women and on the experiences of women who have stood for elected office. While the legal basis for equality of women and men exists in all the countries in question, the reality is quite different. Stereotypical views and assumptions about the roles of women in society affect how women step forward as candidates, and whether they are selected and elected. The Council of Europe is convinced that this study, by providing examples of good practice and evidence-based, practical recommendations, will help to address the current imbalance of women holding elected office and, by doing so, will enhance democracy and human rights in the countries of the Eastern Partnership.
