The practice of ideas in gender equality policy
This thematic section seeks to contribute to emerging research on gender and policy that combines post-adoption and ideational approaches to address how and why ideas matter in gender equality policy implementation. In this article, the two research streams are first discussed. Next, the potential ingredients for gender transformation from current research are presented and then examined in the cases of post-adoption in Spain, the UK, the Netherl…

Theorizing the penal state
The goal of this article is to contribute to ongoing efforts to strengthen gender regimes theory by proposing a new sub domain within the institutional domain of violence that brings in the penal state – any part of formal politico-administrative structures that arrests and incarcerates women. Based on interdisciplinary research on gender, crime and punishment that shows the importance of understanding the penal state for women's rights and gende…

Payments and Penalties for Democracy
This article examines the interplay between gendered electoral financing (GEF) and other crucial factors in democratic elections worldwide to determine whether, how, and why these understudied mechanisms help achieve gender balance in national parliaments. Integrating qualitative comparative analysis and minimalist causal mechanism case studies, the sequential mixed methods study of GEF implementation in 31 elections in 17 countries shows that en…

Taking implementation seriously in assessing success
This article makes the case for the investigation of the post-adoption stages of gender equality policies. We develop the Gender Equality Policy in Practice Approach, built on: (1) the mix of instruments for policy action; (2) the process of inclusive empowerment in practice; and (3) gender transformation as the ultimate outcome. For the gender and politics community, we demonstrate the importance of incorporating implementation in taking policy …

Executive Politics in France
This chapter begins by reviewing the study of executive politics comparatively. It then reviews the study of executive politics in France, showing how scholars based in France were once at the cutting edge of international scholarship in this area. However, with the turn of French political science to political sociology, the study of the French executive tends to be carried out more by scholars outside France and by comparativists rather than by…
Defense and Security Policy
This chapter examines what the international literature tells us about French security and defense policy, but also what the French case teaches us about this literature. French scholarship on security and defense policy has demonstrated three main trends: the legacy of Charles de Gaulle’s vision and policies, a strongly policy-oriented production, and the influence of sociological approaches in French political science more generally. These tren…
Challenges to French Public Administration
This chapter aims to characterize the French administrative system and its contemporary transformations, by identifying the dynamics and diversity of the research conducted on this subject in the disciplines of sociology, political science, and in history. Adopting a comparative perspective, it emphasizes the richness of research programs on the French bureaucracy, its institutions, regulation, reforms, and agents. Four pillars of the French admi…
The Oxford Handbook of French Politics
The Oxford Handbook of French Politics provides a comprehensive and comparative overview of political science research on France. The volume brings together established and emerging scholars who specialize in the study of France to reflect on the evolution of the French political system through the lens of political science. The Handbook is organized into three sections: the first sectionidentifies foundational concepts for the French case, inclu…
The French Way to Multi-Level Governance
Originally emerging from the field of EU studies, the notion and approach of multi-level governance (MLG) have progressively been transferred to a variety of other subfields. This chapter argues that three particularities characterize the way in which French political scientists have dealt with governance and MLG. First, the notion of governance has not had great success since the existing notion of government has long been used in a sociological…
Regional and Local Government
The French state is increasingly exposed to new economic, social, and cultural logics. The growing power of local and regional authorities in the public policy process is one of the most striking features of the erosion of the Jacobin myth of the unity and indivisibility of the Republic. The governance paradigm has fundamentally shifted the terms of the debate and brought French analysis further into the mainstream of international and European l…

Toward the Systematic Study of Feminist Policy in Practice
This article proposes an analytical construct, based on feminist and non-feminist policy studies, to be eventually used in the systematic study of feminist policy in practice in postindustrial democracies. The measurement allows for the analysis of democracy, representation, and symbolic reform in terms of the array of policy actors who come forward during the crucial implementation and evaluation stages, the policy instruments that are used in t…
State Feminism since the 1980s
We argue that since the term state feminism first appeared in the 1980s, it has gone through three stages of development, becoming a formal concept useful in cross-national analysis in the last stage. Scholars first used the term loosely to describe a range of state activities with a gender/women's issues focus. Next, the concept became associated with the study of women's policy agencies. Most recently, a group of comparative gender and policy s…

Comparative strength of women's movements over time
Women's movements in Western democracies have a long history, yet there are few conclusions we can draw with confidence about their trajectories over the decades. In recent years, scholars have begun to use conceptual tools that allow for more valid and reliable comparison across a variety of temporal, sectoral, and cultural contexts. Such efforts are necessary to construct sound theory about women's movements, their characteristics, and their im…

Women's Movements and the State
The goal of this article is to propose a model of state feminism to analyze the impact of women's movements on state activities in post-industrial democracies. It builds on conventional theories of social movement impact, specifically addressing problems of longitudinal and comparative analyses, and introduces an intervening variable-the role of women's policy machineries. This study examines the role of these machineries in France and the United…

The article reviews the lessons learned from a systematic comparison of the policy cases in France and Germany, presented in the previous articles, for building a theory of feminist policy formation and for the design of effective policy in this new arena of government action. It assesses the relative impact of Europeanization and different contextual factors found in each national setting-gender policy regimes, state-society relations, political…

Roundtable 3 – State-society relations and republican ideology
Mini-Symposium
In 2007 the science department at Pennsylvania State University (PSU) decided to discontinue polit ical theory as a course of study for doctoral stu dents. This decision ignited a controversy that is still brewing over the role of theory as a subfield in the discipline. Some eighty-five self-identified politi cal theorists signed a letter challenging the wisdom of the PSU decision and argued that training in theory was not only an essential part …

Feminist Comparative Policy
A lively debate about the contours of contemporary political science in Europe unfolded in the initial issues of European Political Science among a group of scholars who represent the diversity of the study of politics in Europe today. At the core of the discussion was whether political science in Europe is developing into a strong and autonomous discipline. Missing from the debate was any significant treatment of the contributions of feminist sc…
Symbolic reform in France
This article examines the 1983 égalité professionnelle law adopted under the Socialist government. Using a policy process approach, the analysis shows how the 1983 law failed to go beyond symbolic reform in policy formulation and implementation. In symbolic policy the outcome fails both to effectively reallocate resources and to generate policy feedback. The article concludes that while symbolic policy in the case of égalité professionnelle broug…

Feminist comparative policy
This article presents feminist comparative policy (FCP) as a new field of study. It argues that FCP scholars have successfully developed a distinct approach to doing political research and a significant scientific community which follows this approach. In doing so, FCP scholars, particularly since the early 1990s, have moved this area of study into a new stage of institutionalization and influence. These achievements are documented in a discussio…

Theorizing Feminist Policy
Theorizing Feminist Policy intersects empirical feminist policy analysis with non‐feminist policy studies to define and contribute to the new field of Feminist Comparative Policy. The book first identifies this new area of study, showing how it dialogues with Gender and Politics, Comparative Public Policy, Comparative Politics, and Public Policy Studies. Next, the book seeks to strengthen one of the weakest links of this new area, the study of ex…

Comparing Feminist Policy in Politics and at Work in France and Germany
This essay introduces the seven articles in the symposium. Placing this special issue within the purview of the new field of Feminist Comparative Policy, the analysis shows how the symposium contributes to comparative theories of feminist policy formation in Western postindustrial democracies. It then defines the three subareas of feminist policy covered in the rest of the volume—political representation, equal employment, and reconciliation—expl…

With five years of experience under our collective belt, the French Politics Group (FPG) (a related group of the APSA) has moved into a new phase of network development and international collaboration across North America, Europe, and other continents. The goal of this article is to map out these networking efforts, to present the ingredients for our success, and, in so doing, provide some possible avenues of collaboration for other APSA members …
Introduction
Making International Collaboration Work
This is the third in a series of articles about the activities of the French Politics Group (FPG), charting the institutionalization of our research and teaching partnerships with our colleagues in France. In last year's essay for PS (April, 2006: 389–91), we discussed 10 lessons we had learned in pursuing successful international collaboration. Following yet another productive year of ever-increasing collaborative activities on both sides of the…

Politics, Gender, and Concepts
A critique of concepts has been central to feminist scholarship since its inception. However, while gender scholars have identified the analytical gaps in existing social science concepts, few have systematically mapped out a gendered approach to issues in political analysis and theory development. This volume addresses this important gap in the literature by exploring the methodology of concept construction and critique, which is a crucial step …
