Through a comparison of Russia and Iceland, the book shows how this revised form of male dominance came about, how it constrains feminisms, and how activists are beginning to fight back. It argues that while feminist movements have made it harder for most countries to maintain formal rules discriminating against women, economic liberalization strengthened male-dominated elites in informal institutions. These elites offer women prominent roles as policymakers and in non-governmental organizations, but then box them in with little room to represent women's interests. Activists' attempts to shame countries for ignoring problems such as violence against women result in new laws, but, lacking the necessary funding and enforcement, violence and inequality intensify. Explaining this paradox is the principal focusfor social scientists, policymakers, and activists concerned with gender equality, women's social inclusion, and human rights.  . 410 0$aGender and Politics,$x2662-5822 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aComparative government 606 $aPolitics and Gender 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aComparative Politics 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 14$aPolitics and Gender. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 676 $a305.40947 700 $aJohnson$b Janet Elise$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0873042 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300521003321 996 $aThe Gender of Informal Politics$92129473 997 $aUNINA
