This constitutes a very useful text for students and teachers alike. All of the contributions are well-written, clear and accessible and there is a useful appendix which sets out the UN system and how it works. This book should be recommended reading for students on global governance courses as well as more specialized gender and international relations / politics options.

Feminist Collections: A Quarterly Of Women's Studies Resources

This is a very useful introductory text book to issues of international feminism and women and politics at an international level.

Irish Journal Of Feminist Studies

An important lesson one learns from reading these rich case studies is: asking the sort of feminist questions that have shed so much light on local militaries and welfare bureaucracies can produce equivalent revelations about the masculinist political cultures and everyday workings of international agencies. After one reads Gender Politics in Global Governance, the UN, OAS, and EU will never look the same, nor will feminist activism. This is a breakthrough book.
