‘This novel Handbook brings together many of the leading feminist scholars working on governance at the national, regional and international levels. It ranges widely over the central theoretical and methodological approaches including intersectionality and feminist institutionalism, as well as empirically exploring key feminist issues in many major governance institutions.’

‘This Handbook brings together an outstanding group of scholars to explore the origins, varieties, and impact of institutionalizing feminist values and governance into regional, national, and international policy-making bodies. Sawer, Banaszak, True, and Kantola have crafted a comprehensive survey, focused on the period from the 1970s forward, that covers a range of both geographic and issue areas. The volume also offers lessons in best practices in applying a feminist lens to governance and policy, making it a resource for practitioners as well as researchers and educators.’
