Abstract

The collected volume, edited by Annette Henninger and Helga Ostendorf, is based on a May 2001 conference of the working group for politics and gender of the German Union for Political Science, which—according to Henninger and Ostendorf’s dedication—has gone down in the history of the working group as legendary. The volume contains eleven contributions that hold empirical findings on “feminist institutional analysis.” The editors of the volume introduce the essays, individually as well as in an introductory chapter, by reflecting on their productivity with regard to further developing the theoretical dispute over political institutions, particularly with regard to their foundation in gender politics and their effectiveness. At the same time, the essays call forth the chances and barriers found in institutionalized politics on women and gender.
