Through a comparison of Russia and Iceland, the book shows how this revised form of male dominance came about, how it constrains feminisms, and how activists are beginning to fight back. It argues that while feminist movements have made it harder for most countries to maintain formal rules discriminating against women, economic liberalization strengthened male-dominated elites in informal institutions. These elites offer women prominent roles as policymakers and in non-governmental organizations, but then box them in with little room to represent women’s interests. Activists’ attempts to shame countries for ignoring problems such as violence against women result in new laws, but, lacking the necessary funding and enforcement, violence and inequality intensify. Explaining this paradox is the principal focusfor social scientists, policymakers, and activists concerned with gender equality, women‘s social inclusion, and human rights. . | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | gender and Russian politics; gender and Icelandic politics; gender equality paradox; feminist instituti | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-60279-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-86824-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-60279-0Series ISSN 2662-5814 Series E-ISSN 2662-5822 | issn_series | 2662-5814 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
