"Ownership and control over assets such as land and housing provide direct and indirect benefits to individuals and households, including a secure place to live, the means of a livelihood, protection during emergencies, and collateral for credit that can be used for investment or consumption. Unfortunately, few studies - either at the micro or macro levels- examine the gender dimensions of asset ownership. This paper sets out a framework for researchers who are interested in collecting data on individual level asset ownership and analyzing the gender asset gap. It reviews best practices in existing surveys with respect to data collection on assets at both the household and individual levels, and shows how various questions on individually owned assets can be incorporated with a minimum of effort and cost into existing multi-topic household surveys, using examples of three Living Standard Measurement Study surveys: the 1998-99 Ghana survey, the 2000 Guatemala survey, and the 1997-98 Vietnam survey questionnaires. The analysis shows that it is feasible to add a minimal set of questions to enable calculation of the gender asset gap. Adding a series of extra questions will permit a more satisfactory and nuanced analysis of asset acquisition, use, disposition, and valuation - information that is critical for policies promoting gender equality, poverty reduction, and economic growth.

This book traces a scientific biography and thus reflects the development of gender-sensitive political science: its origins in Critical Theory with its visible connection to its paradigms, political science's preoccupation with work as the central 'crux' of gender-specific theory and politics, the discussion of political socialization as an obstacle and simultaneous starting point for women-specific emancipation, and finally globalization in its significance as an opportunity and danger for a gender-equitable democracy.This is why, for Christine Kulke, this commemorative volume also presents central themes of gender-specific political science: a commemorative volume and a kaleidoscope worth reading. Dieses Buch zeichnet eine wissenschaftliche Biografie nach und reflektiert so die Entwicklung der gendersensiblen Politikwissenschaft: Die Herkunft aus der Kritischen Theorie mit der sichtbaren Rückbindung an deren Paradigmen, die politikwissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit Arbeit als zentralem ,Knackpunkt' genderspezifischer Theorie und Politik, die Diskussion um politische Sozialisation als Hemmschuh und gleichzeitiger Ansatzpunkt frauenspezifischer Emanzipation und schließlich Globalisierung in ihrer Bedeutung als Chance und Gefahr für eine geschlechtergerechte Demokratie.So kommt es, dass diese Festschrift für Christine Kulke zugleich zentrale Themen genderspezifischer Politikwissenschaft vorstellt: eine Festschrift und ein lesenswertes Kaleidoskop. / Dieses Buch können Sie als pdf-Datei kostenlos von unserer Internetseite herunterladen oder als gedrucktes Buch gegen Rechnung bestellen.

This book examines the meanings of gender that underpin policies in the Scandinavian welfare states, historically and today, and raises the question whether the hallmark of the Scandinavian welfare model is a special combination of gender equality and gender differentiation.

Although the European Employment Strategy recognizes that gender equality and gender mainstreaming are essential for progress, the analysis of the National Reform Programs 2005 and 2006 indicated that the visibility of gender and the attention paid both to gender equality policies and gender mainstreaming in the national reports has declined. This decline appears to be strongly linked to the disappearance of the specific gender guidelines following on from the earlier removal of the equal opportunities pillar from the European Employment Strategy guidelines. A reversal of this development can only be attained if all stakeholders have a better knowledge of concrete examples of gender mainstreaming and share the commitment to integrate gender issues in the European Employment Strategy in the future. This report, therefore, provides a checklist for effective gender mainstreaming and analyzes the most relevant employment policy domains from a gender perspective. As such the report contains information for the 27 Member States in addition to three EEA-EFTA countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.--Publisher's description.

Written by leading women's movement scholars, this book is the first to systematically apply the idea of social movement abeyance to differing national and international contexts. Its starting point is the idea that the women's movement is over, an idea promoted in the media and encouraged by scholarship that regards disruptive action as a defining element of social movements. It goes on to compare the trajectories over the past 40 years of women's movements in Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Finally, it looks at the extension of femin

La mise en œuvre des politiques en matière de biodiversité se traduit souvent par une répartition inégale des avantages. Par exemple, l’établissement d’un droit de propriété afin de faciliter la gestion d’une ressource liée à la biodiversité peut s’avérer préjudiciable pour des personnes qui pouvaient jusqu’alors faire un usage illimité de cette ressource. A partir d’un travail d’analyse et de nombreuses études de cas, cet ouvrage propose des principes et des instruments permettant de prendre en compte les enjeux distributifs du cadre d’action en faveur de la biodiversité. Il aidera les décideurs à élaborer les stratégies voulues pour envisager les incidences sur différentes catégories de population, et à opter pour des démarches et des instruments qui permettent de gérer les effets distributifs sans compromettre les objectifs de conservation et d’exploitation.

Shirin Rai provides a comprehensive assessment of how gender politics has emerged and developed in post-colonial states. In chapters on key issues of nationalism and nation-building, the third wave of democratization and globalization and governance, Rai argues that the gendered way in which nationalist statebuilding occured created deep fissures and pressures for development. She goes on to show how women have engaged with institutions of governance in developing countries, looking in particular at political participation, deliberative democracy, representation, leadership and state feminism.
