With the end of the Cold War, the spread of globalization, and the extension of economic regulatory regimes, democratization has come to be seen as important to securing long-term political stability. Much has been written about democratization and gender in works on human rights, citizenship, women's movements and challenges to authoritarian regimes. This book, published in association with the United Nations, builds on this existing body of literature by looking at the relevance of national machineries for the advancement of women. Appropriate mechanisms through which the mainstreaming of gender can take place are considered, and the levels of governance involved - the relationship between gender mainstreaming and state structures, and the effect of this relationship on issues of decentralization, accountability, consultation and participation. It defines what the 'interests of women' are, and how and by what processes these interests are represented to the state policy making structures. Global strategies for the advancement of women, and how far these have penetrated at national level are considered. This is illuminated by a series of case studies - gender equality in Sweden and other Nordic countries, the Ugandan ministry of Gender, Culture and Social services, gender awareness in Central and Eastern Europe, and further examples from South Korea, the Lebanon, Beijing and Australia. This book will be of vital use to students of democratization, gender studies and politics, and is the first full-length appraisal of global strategies and national machineries for the advancement of women. 410 0$aPerspectives on democratization. 606 $aDemocratization 606 $aEquality 606 $aWomen$xGovernment policy 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions 610 $aglobalization 610 $ademocratization 610 $apolitics 610 $asweden 610 $auganda 610 $aAccountability 610 $aCivil society 610 $aGender equality 610 $aGender mainstreaming 610 $aWomen's rights 615 0$aDemocratization. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aWomen$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.42 700 $aRai$b Shirin M$4auth$0147220 702 $aRai$b Shirin 712 02$aUnited Nations.$bDivision for the Advancement of Women, 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910287936903321 996 $aMainstreaming gender, democratizing the State$91963229 997 $aUNINA
