Summary

Gender, Politics and the Stateprovides an overview of the relationships between the state and gender politics and explores some central contemporary themes including: the difficulties with identifying and organising politically around gender differences and interests; having to engage with the state whilst simultaneously recognising both its complexity and variation; the need for a more inclusive conception of politics which does justice to women's politial needs. The book includes chapters on conceptual and theoretical issues as well as case studies on state policy and political participation in Britain, Ireland, Russia, China and Latin America.
