Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on women, gender and politics in international perspective with a particular emphasis on the interaction between local organizing and transnational politics; public policy and constructions of gender; effects of women’s participation in electoral office, national governmental agencies, and international governance; gender differences in political participation, activism, and policy outcomes; and queer and transgender politics and policies. The goal is to produce an internationally diverse and broad interdisciplinary approach to the topic that brings diverse experiences and contexts into the frame. Theoretical, empirical, and practice-based studies and submissions from any disciplinary and methodological approach are welcomed.
