Equality Politics and Gender

Reviews / Votes

`the papers are well argued and informative, covering both conceptual and policy issues, several European countries and several policy initiatives. The book is thus a valuable resource for scholars in theory and empirical research, as well as for students. It is interesting for political theorists in that it focuses away from the often much too abstractly discussed question of whether women should insist on their equality with, or difference from, men, on the critique of this seemingly exclusive dichotomy and on more specific conceptual issues and policy initiatives and their outcomes' - Political Studies



`The book's greatest strength, constituting its contribution to the field, is its inclusion of analyses of equality of opportunity in a variety of political and economic systems; it thus illuminates the varying conceptualizations of equality.' - Choice





`stimulating... breaks new ground in raising serious theoretical, legal and policy questions about the interpretation and use of the concept of equality in the treatment of women....of timely interest to feminist activists and theorists....should prove enlightening for advanced students and researchers' - Canadian Journal of Political Science
