Inhalt: "This timely collection offers a fresh look on the impact of gender perspectives in the discipline of political science at the beginning of the 21st century. The book combats the Eurocentric focus that has characterized both fields and suggests viable alternatives for the future of the disciplines. The volume identifies the major questions raised by scholars working on both sides of gender and politics and summarizes their findings. This truly global collection acknowledges the different nature of gender and politics as a field of study in regions beyond the European and Anglo-American academic realm. Four major approaches to the field are presented by contributors from the US, Latin America, Africa, South Asia, Europe, and Oceania." (publisher's description). Contents: Jane H.
