The essays in this volume answer these questions from different angles, using case studies from around the world. They consider the conditions for effective connections between women in civil society and women in politics, for the evolution of political party platforms responsive to women's interests, for local government arrangements that enable women to engage effectively, and for accountability mechanisms that answer to women. Governing Women argues that good governance from a gender perspective requires more than just additional women in politics, it requires fundamental incentive changes to orient public action and policy to support gender equality.
