<strong>Gender</strong><br />

and<br />

<strong>Governance</strong><br />

The essays in this volume are the outcome of a year long<br />

collaborative exploration of the multiple factors that influence the<br />

process of engendering governance in complex societies, in<br />

particular the changing roles of various actors including women’s<br />

movements, the state and civil society.<br />

Amrita Basu, Yasmin Tambiah and Niraja Gopal Jayal, all notable<br />

scholars and strong proponents of a gendered vision of<br />

governance, have contributed thought-provoking papers that<br />

break new conceptual ground and add new dimensions to<br />

ongoing debates on key issues of governance.<br />

Professor Martha Nussbaum, an active participant in the<br />

process of bringing a gender and human development<br />

perspective into global debates on governance, has written an<br />

insightful introduction.<br />
