Gender, Governance and Feminist Analysis: Missing in Action?
Gender, Governance and Feminist Analysis: Missing in Action
This edited volume presents critical scholarship analysing governance practices in diverse jurisdictions in Europe and North America, at multiple scales, and in relation to several different arenas of policy and practice. The contributors address shortcomings in the mainstream literature on governance within the discipline of political science. The volume as a whole is marked by geographical and topical diversity. However, what the individual cha…
Methods, discourse, activism: Comparing institutional ethnography and governmentality
In this article I present a comparative consideration of two conceptual frameworks that have informed critical research by policy-interested scholars: institutional ethnography and governmentality. I argue that these two approaches to research are similar in important respects: both focus on the analysis of linkages between everyday practices and the ruling/governing programs and strategies that aspire to shape these; both accord a central place …
Aid Effectiveness and Women’s Empowerment: Practices of Governance in the Funding of International Development
Although the empowerment of women is a prominent goal in international development, feminist development professionals, activists, and scholars remain deeply dissatisfied with the limited extent to which women's empowerment is actually achieved. Their experiences and analyses raise questions about the connections and disjunctions between discourse, institutional practices, and everyday life. A major effort to reform development aid guided by the …
Analyzing Institutional Persistence: The Case of the Ministry of Women's Affairs in Aotearoa/New Zealand
The Ministry of Women's Affairs in Aotearoa/New Zealand was established as a stand-alone agency in 1986. It has remained institutionally intact for more than 20 years, unlike many women's policy agencies that have been downsized or eliminated. It has survived significant economic and state sector restructuring and weathered the extension of neoliberal orientations into the reform of social policy. We analyze New Zealand's version of state feminis…

The Rise and Decline of Women's Policy Machinery in British Columbia and New South Wales: A Cautionary Tale
This article presents a comparative analysis of the institutional trajectories traced by women's policy agencies within government in the province of British Columbia in Canada and in the state of New South Wales in Australia. In both cases, a period during which the principal women's policy agency took the form of a freestanding government ministry was followed by a period during which that ministry (along with an array of women's policy agencie…
Disparate Fates in Challenging Times: Women's Policy Agencies and Neoliberalism in Aotearoa/New Zealand and British Columbia
This article develops an explanation for the different approaches to existing women's policy agencies adopted by governments of the right elected to office in Aotearoa/New Zealand (in 1990) and in the province of British Columbia (in 2001). In Aotearoa/New Zealand, the Ministry of Women's Affairs remained structurally intact, while in British Columbia the Ministry of Women's Equality was eliminated and replaced with a women's policy agency that c…
Neoliberalism and gender analysis mainstreaming in Aotearoa/New Zealand
In this article, I explore the impact of neoliberalism on the gender analysis mainstreaming initiative launched in 1996 by the Ministry of Women's Affairs in the government of Aotearoa/New Zealand. I argue that elements of neoliberal discourse worked against the feminist potential of The Full Picture, the instructional document that was developed by the Ministry to assist policy analysts across government in learning how to use gender analysis in…
W(h)ither Women's Equality? Neoliberalism, Institutional Change and Public Policy in British Columbia
In this article I provide an account of the elimination of Women's Equality as a freestanding ministry in the government of the Canadian province of British Columbia and its reconfiguration as Women's Services and Social Programs, one of several organizational elements in the newly-created Ministry of Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services. I also present an analysis of a number of policy developments with particular significance for women th…
Gendering Policy Analysis in the Government of British Columbia: Strategies, Possibilities and Constraints
What are the prospects for challenging the state of affairs described by Sunera Thobani? What role, if any, can women's policy machinery play in this undertaking? In this article, I explore these questions through an analysis of the Ministry of Women's Equality in British Columbia
The Work of Caring for Children: Contradictory Themes in American Child Care Policy Debates
In this article I present a textual analysis of the child care policy debates that took place in the United States during the late 1980s. I identify and illustrate two themes that emerged in these debates. The first expressed a commitment to the “traditional” nuclear family and a belief in the importance of full-time motherhood for children's well-being. The second expressed a devaluation of two aspects of women's caregiving: the mother-work of w…

Neo-Conservative Ideology and Opposition to Federal Regulation of Child Care Services in the United States and Canada
This article explores neo-conservative ideology in the industrialized West through a comparative analysis of the arguments advanced against a strong role for the federal government in regulating child care services in the United States and Canada. Existing analyses of neo-conservatism suggest that it is composed of many different elements which may lead to contradictory policy prescriptions; this literature also downplays the presence of a “pro-f…
Institutions and Ideology: Sources of Opposition to Federal Regulation of Child Care Services in Canada and the United States
This article explores the impact of federal political arrangements and conservative ideology on provisions for regulating child care services embodied in the major proposals for child care legislation under consideration in Canada and the United States during the late 1980s. The initial contrast between the non‐centralized approach taken in Bill C‐144 (Canada) and the more centralized approach originally proposed in the Act for Better Child Care …
