This book examines this question in the context of two countries, South Africa and Uganda, which in this regard have accomplished much more than most (including the Western democracies).  How did women achieve some 30% representation in both national and local political institutions in these countries? How far did women's mobilization in civil society play a part? How sustainable are these gains likely to be? And of equal importance, there are the questions around the impact of women politicians on policy. Here the volume examines two litmus test pieces of legislation -- around land in Uganda and gender violence in South Africa.   What emerges is that the political routes to increased female participation vary and the solidity of the gains made depends much on the strength of the gender-equity lobby in society at large. What is more, participation does not necessarily translate into effective policy influence enhancing the position and interests of women.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49578786652433,"sku":"GOR002467998","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52331466588433,"sku":"NLS9781842771471","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1842771477.jpg?v=1751462382"},{"product_id":"getting-institutions-right-for-women-in-development-book-anne-marie-goetz-9781856495264","title":"Getting Institutions Right for Women in Development","description":"Gender and Development or Women in Development policies have been promoted in development organizations for almost three decades now. Although they have helped improve the immediate material condition of women, by and large such policies have involved organizations in reproducing the ideological and material conditions for women's subordination in the family and the economy.  This book offers a gendered analysis of development organizations in a range of different institutional arenas. It builds a conceptual framework for exploring the politics and procedures internal to the institutions which design and implement policy, and then applies this to the analysis of empirical case study material. Other contributions reflect on strategies to help organizations internalise or institutionalise gender equity; to make accountability to women a routine part of development practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49616392257809,"sku":"GOR009008857","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52121244795153,"sku":"NLS9781856495264","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1856495264.jpg?v=1751985767"},{"product_id":"women-development-workers-book-anne-marie-goetz-9780761995326","title":"Women Development Workers","description":"`Goetz′s book is an important work as it fills a significant gap in the literature on development intervention - the role of women field staff in implementing programmes for all women clients - because \"it is at the field level where resistance, miscomprehension or lack of commitment are most played out\" - Asif Dowla, The Journal of Development Studies    `Whether or not Goetz′s insights are incorporated into practice, her analysis of the ways in which an organisation is gendered provides empirical substantiation of what is usually discussed only at a theoretical level by feminist scholars′ - Jana Everett, Contemporary South Asia      This book studies the efforts of women development agents in micro-finance programmes to promote the interests of their poor rural women clients.  It exposes the differences in the ways men and women staff of these programmes interact with these poor women, and argues that gender biases in the structures, cultures and incentive systems of development organisations constrain women staff from promoting women′s rights more aggressively.      The author shows that women field workers are an important resource for the empowerment of poor women, since they often display a greater degree of responsiveness and sensitivity to women′s social and economic constraints.  It allows them to engage with their clients on matters like domestic violence, reproductive health, children′s well-being, and property rights.  Through this analysis the author develops a conceptual framework for understanding the gendered nature of organisations, demonstrating how male-dominated organisational hierarchies constrain women′s management capabilities.  She also illustrates the gendered process of policy implementation, exposing the inability of women staff to act upon their interpretations of women′s needs.  And finally, the author builds theory on institutional capacity building in development from a gendered perspective, which is about establishing accountability to women in state and non-governmental development institutions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49624298357009,"sku":"GOR012403263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0761995323.jpg?v=1750785453"},{"product_id":"new-directions-in-women-peace-and-security-book-anne-marie-goetz-9781529207750","title":"New Directions in Women, Peace and Security","description":"What does gender equality mean for peace, justice, and security? At the turn of the 21st century, feminist advocates persuaded the United Nations Security Council to adopt a resolution that drew attention to this question at the highest levels of international policy deliberations.    Today the Women, Peace and Security agenda is a complex field, relevant to every conceivable dimension of war and peace. This groundbreaking book engages vexed and vexing questions about the future of the agenda, from the legacies of coloniality to the prospects of international law, and from the implications of the global arms trade to the impact of climate change. It balances analysis of emerging trends with specially commissioned reflections from those at the forefront of policy and practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736059519249,"sku":"NGR9781529207750","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50907734081809,"sku":"GOR010783317","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033876955409,"sku":"NIN9781529207750","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689437032721,"sku":"NLS9781529207750","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1529207754.jpg?v=1751308314"},{"product_id":"governing-women-book-anne-marie-goetz-9780415848039","title":"Governing Women","description":"Using case studies from around the world, this volume argues that good governance from a gender perspective requires more than just additional women in politics: it requires fundamental incentive changes to orient public action and policy to support gender equality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51225397428497,"sku":"NIN9780415848039","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52343800987921,"sku":"NLS9780415848039","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415848032.jpg?v=1751260483"},{"product_id":"governing-women-book-anne-marie-goetz-9780415956529","title":"Governing Women","description":"Using case studies from around the world, this volume argues that good governance from a gender perspective requires more than just additional women in politics: it requires fundamental incentive changes to orient public action and policy to support gender equality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522006282513,"sku":"NLS9780415956529","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415956529.jpg?v=1760574315"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-anne-marie-goetz.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
