The articles in this volume, entitled Gendering Politics and Policy: Recent Developments in Europe, Latin America, and the United States, reflect a broad range of concerns that political scientists, economists, other social scientists, legal scholars, and activists have about advancing womens rights and womens leadership at the dawn of the twenty-first century in a world that is increasingly global and in which countries increasingly act in a multinational context.
Nearly all the authors represented in this volume presented their work at the Seventh International Womens Policy Research Conference, Women Working to Make a Difference, held in Washington, DC, in 2003. The conference is convened every two years in June by the Institute for Womens Policy Research (IWPR) and co-sponsored by the Womens Studies and Public Policy programs at The George Washington University and the Friederich Ebert Stiftung. Ten of the twelve papers published here were selected from the more than 100 papers presented after an exhaustive review process. The authors revised their papers in response to reviewers comments and in many cases updated them to include analysis of events occurring in 2004 and 2005. Two additional papers were included in this volume based on the relevance of their content and following the usual review process for submitting manuscripts.
Mercedes Barquet and Sandra Osses, participants in a large cross-national research project in Latin America, open this volume with a feminist analysis of the important issue of governability in the fragile democracies of Latin America. In Governability and Womens Citizenship, they build upon the work of feminist political theorists and argue that if a new vision of womens citizenship could be developed, one that would fully engage women, these fragile democracies would improve their ability to govern and enhance their stability. Democratic governability is seen to require everyones participation on equal terms. Barquet and Osses, two social science scholars working in Mexico, use a Mexican government survey of mens and womens political attitudes, knowledge, and participation to explore womens citizenship deficit. While discussed in the context of developing countries, the issues Barquet and Osses raise speak to women in economically advanced countries as well, especially in the United States where our own machinery of democracy was found lacking in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections and where women still hold only 15 percent of the seats in our national parliament, the U.S. Congress. This article, and the four others in the first section of this issue, Gendering Citizenship, Elections, and Social Capital, examine some of the most fundamental institutions and relationships in human society.
