Abstract:
"The book provides exciting new ways of thinking about how women's rights policy change occurs in the Global South. Drawing on meso-level analysis of how six countries passed legislation to combat domestic violence, the book shows, for example, the importance of forming strategic alliances around the interests and ideas of dominant actors; the role of elite cohesion; and the politcs of ideas and discursive framing of gender equity. It is certain to influence contemporary thinking about gender-related policy reform and, as such, it is must read for international and domestic policy makers, women's rights activists, donors, scholars of genders and politics, and many others." Aili Mari Tripp, Wangari Maathai Professor of Political Science & Gender and Women's Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
Abstract:
"Understanding the politcal processes that lead to greater gender equity in the Global South is a first step in tackling problems such as domestic violence in a transformative way. This book makes an important contribution both conceptually and empirically in this highly policy-relevant field - a must read for scholars, activists, and policy-makers committed to promote gender equality and social justice." Katja Hujo, Senior Research Coordinator, Social Policy and Development Programme, UNRISD, Switzerland
Abstract:
"This book is a great addition to the literature on gender equality policies, focusing particulary on domestic violence in the Global South. It carefully demonstrates the strategies for confronting deeply entrenched power inequalities across institutions of the state and society. A must read for activists and researchers alike." Nitya Rao, Professor of Gender and Development, University of East Anglia, UK
