Kurzinformation

Over the last two decades there has been considerable enthusiasm for the concept of civil society amongst researchers, practitioners and activists. Despite this enthusiasm for the concept, however, the gendered nature of civil society and the impact of feminist organising on civil society has received minimal attention.

Gender and Civil Society seeks to address this gap and considers:

• How does the political environment and nature of the state shape the way women organise, the issues they address, and their capacity to affect changes in state policies on gender?
• Is the women’s movement structurally different from other civil society organisations?
• Does the gender lens alter our vision of civil society?

The chapters in this volume each pursue two or more of these questions and cover a diversity of contexts, including the US, East and Central Europe, China, the Middle East, Africa, South East Asia, Central America and Chile.

This book not only draws together the concepts of gender and civil society, but also adopts an international perspective, highlighting the diverse trajectories of women organising in different country contexts and the historical, cultural and political speci.cities of civil society.

Jude Howell is Professor and Director of the Centre for Civil Society at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Diane Mulligan is a freelance gender and development consultant based in Indonesia.
