A complementary approach to Critical Frame Analysis and ‘what is the problem represented to be
Critical Frame Analysis (CFA) is a method for analyzing policy framing by excavating rhetorical meaning. In contrast, 'What is the Problem Represented to Be?' (WPR) is a method for critiquing common assumptions underpinning public policy by questioning unexamined knowledges. CFA is constructivist WPR is constructionist. Can two policy methods from different research paradigms be used in tandem? Scholars do not agree if this is possible; those who…
A Conversation with Susan Faludi on Backlash, Trumpism, and #MeToo
Originally published in 1991, Susan Faludi’s Backlash: The Undeclared War against American Women is a landmark feminist work. In this interview, Faludi reflects on the evolution of the feminist struggle for women’s equality in the years since this book was published. Identifying our present moment as another period of backlash, Faludi argues that a counterassault is again on the rise. Yet Faludi notes that unlike the subtler backlash of the 1980s…

A Feminist Approach to Quotas and Comparative Politics
Mainstream comparative politics (CP) rarely attends to gender scholarship. Conventional wisdom urges gender scholars to speak to the broader concerns of CP to avoid this marginalization. But feminist concerns are broader than those of CP. Feminism promotes changes in power relations to advance “justice for women and everyone” and offers tools for assessing injustice (Weldon 2011, 443). In contrast, CP promotes stability and order that benefits el…

Does the Quality of Democracy Matter for Women’s Rights? Just Debate and Democratic Transition in Chile and South Africa
Gender scholars have found that democratization is rarely associated with advances in women’s rights and offer a range of reasons why. This article offers a new explanation that targets the quality of democracy in the leading institutions in the public sphere. The author argues that open and inclusive debate conditions, or women’s access, voice, and capacity for contestation in the legislature, civil society, and the media, enable them to shape d…
(Un)thinking Citizenship
What does it mean to be a citizen in a society whose constitution promises an impressive array of rights, yet where the lived reality is one of pervasive violence, fear, poverty and HIV/AIDS? The diverse array of practitioner and activist authors in this collection are insistent that it means liberal citizenship is insufficient. In the opening essay, Linzi Manicom argues that neither substantive rights nor women-as-citizens directly undermine gen…
Altering Politics, Contesting Gender
The Liberal Moment
This article investigates the extent of women's participation in South African public debate during the Government of National Unity, a two-year period beginning with the country's first non-racial elections of 1994 and ending with the signing of the Constitution in 1996. The new democratic government established basic rights enabling all citizens, regardless of race or gender, to engage in public debate. Were women able to take advantage of this…
