Federalism, Feminism and Multilevel Governance

'Just as scholars of political architecture have mostly ignored gender, so too have feminist researchers tended to overlook the structures of government. At long last, we have an impressive volume that both redresses the latter gap and insists on sustained attention to the former one.' Sylvia Bashevkin, University of Toronto, Canada 'Grappling with the complexity of political decision-making in unitary, federal, and multilevel governance systems, this volume investigates the effects of diverse divisions of power, revenue and responsibility on the representation and participation of gendered citizens. Developing rich comparisons across all regions of the globe, the book provides new insights into the possibilities for and barriers to equitable policies and politics.'
