During the past decade governments around the globe have introduced institutional mechanisms to promote the advancement of women, including measures to increase women’s political participation rates and to incorporate women’s interests into policy-making. Why have they done so? How successful have these initiatives been? What are the emerging agendas facing gender equality advocates now?
In the New Politics of Gender Equality Judith Squires examines the origins, evolution and key features of three strategies that have been employed across the world in pursuit of gender equality – quotas, policy agencies and gender mainstreaming. The author critically examines each strategy to see how far they transform political institutions and agendas and to what extent they lead rather to the assimilation of women in male-defined structures. Squires argues that a multi-pronged approach, drawing on democratic rather than technocratic strategies, offers the best potential for advancing gender equality. She highlights too the limitations of approaches that ignore inequalities among women and the challenges of developing equality initiatives to address multiple and cross-cutting inequalities between groups.
Judith Squires is Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol. She has written, researched and published widely in the field of gender politics and gender equality.
"Squires’ arguments are cogent, clear, timely and theoretically comprehensive... [She] has written as clear an account of the current dilemmas of equality policies as is possible... and offers a powerful exposition of what is at stake." - Joni Lovenduski, Politics and Gender

《性别平等的政治》这个书名,在我脑海中勾勒出了一幅波澜壮阔的画面。我猜想,这不仅仅是一本关于女性权益的论述,而是一次对权力运作机制的深刻剖析。性别,作为一种社会建构,与权力紧密相连,而“政治”则直接指向了这种权力的分配、博弈与转移。我期待这本书能带领我穿越历史的长河,审视不同时代、不同文化背景下,性别不平等是如何被构建、被维护,甚至被合法化的。我希望它能揭示出,那些看似“自然”的性别角色分工,背后隐藏着怎样的政治逻辑和利益考量。这本书可能会触及法律条文的字里行间,分析政策文件的潜台词,甚至走进社会运动的风口浪尖,去理解个体与集体的力量是如何相互作用,以挑战既有的权力格局。我期待它能提供一种审视的框架,让我能够更敏锐地捕捉到日常生活中的性别权力痕迹,并理解那些看似微小的个体选择,如何汇聚成改变世界的力量。这本书对我而言,是一次探寻真相、理解格局、思考未来的智识之旅。
评分最近,我偶然间注意到了《性别平等的政治》这本书,它的名字立刻吸引了我的注意力。作为一名关注社会议题的读者,我一直对性别平等这个话题有着浓厚的兴趣,并试图理解其背后复杂的社会和政治动因。我猜测,这本书很可能会深入探讨性别权力在不同社会结构中的体现,以及这些权力关系如何塑造了我们对性别角色的认知,并进一步影响到政策的制定和法律的实施。我设想,作者可能通过对历史事件、社会运动以及政治理论的分析,来阐释性别平等是如何一步步成为一个重要的政治议题,以及在推进过程中所遭遇的阻力和挑战。这本书或许会揭示出,性别平等的斗争并非一蹴而就,而是需要长期的、多方面的努力,其中涉及到意识形态的博弈、资源的分配以及社会价值观的重塑。我期待它能够为我提供一个更全面、更深刻的视角,让我能够更好地理解这个复杂而又至关重要的议题,并从中获得一些启发性的思考。
评分作为一个对社会学和政治学交叉领域充满好奇的人,当我看到《性别平等的政治》这本书时,内心的冲动几乎是无法抑制的。我脑海中立刻浮现出各种画面:可能是历史长河中女性争取权利的激昂瞬间,也可能是现代社会中那些精妙的、甚至是微妙的权力运作,如何影响着性别角色的塑造和个人命运的轨迹。我猜想,这本书不会止步于对现状的描述,而是会深入挖掘性别不平等是如何被制度化、被文化所固化,以及这些“看不见的手”是如何在政治舞台上发挥作用的。它或许会分析不同意识形态如何争夺关于性别价值的定义权,如何在法律、教育、经济等领域构建出支持或阻碍性别平等的体系。我尤其期待书中能够提供一些具体的案例研究,通过对不同国家或地区的经验进行比较,来揭示出普适性的规律和独特的挑战。这本书对我而言,不仅是一次阅读的尝试,更是一次与历史对话、与现实碰撞、与未来思考的契机,我期待它能为我提供更深刻的洞见,让我能更理性、更批判性地理解这个世界。
评分我对《性别平等的政治》这本书的期待,更多地建立在它可能带来的启发性和行动力上。在当今社会,虽然性别平等的理念已经广为人知,但在实践层面,阻碍依然重重。我希望这本书能够不仅仅停留在理论层面,而是能提供一些关于如何有效地推动性别平等的策略和方法。它是否会探讨基层运动的力量,如何通过集体行动来改变政策?是否会分析在权力结构内部,如何运用政治智慧和谈判技巧来争取更多的支持?我甚至设想,这本书或许会探讨如何在不同利益群体之间找到共识,如何化解冲突,从而为性别平等扫清障碍。我渴望从中获得一些关于“如何做”的指引,而不是仅仅停留在“为什么”的层面。这本书的名称“政治”二字,让我相信它会关注那些实际的、充满挑战的行动过程,那些需要勇气、智慧和坚持的努力。我期待它能够成为一本既有深度又不失温度的书,能够激发我更积极地参与到构建一个更公平、更包容的社会中去。
评分我最近迷上了一本叫做《性别平等的政治》的书,虽然我还没有开始阅读,但仅仅是书名就勾起了我极大的兴趣。在信息爆炸的时代,我们每天都在接触各种社会议题,而性别平等无疑是其中最核心、最复杂也最引人深思的议题之一。这本书的名字直接点明了它的主题,让我期待它能深入剖析性别平等背后所涉及到的政治力量、权力结构、社会制度以及历史演变。我很好奇,作者会从哪些角度切入?是通过研究具体的政策制定过程,还是对不同国家、不同文化背景下的性别平等运动进行对比分析?这本书是否会探讨那些看似微不足道的社会现象,但实际上却深刻地反映了性别不平等的根源?我设想着,或许这本书会揭示出,性别平等的实现并非简单的道德呼吁,而是需要通过一场场政治博弈、社会改革,甚至是观念的颠覆。我希望这本书能够带给我一些全新的视角,让我能够更清晰地认识到,我们身处的社会,在性别平等这一议题上,还有多长的路要走,以及这条路究竟会走向何方。这本书就像一扇未打开的门,里面蕴藏着我对这个复杂议题的无数猜想与求知欲。
