It explores what this means for ideas about, and the practice of, descriptive, substantive and symbolic representation. The main focus is on the feminization of British party politics - the integration of women into formal political institutions and the integration of women?s concerns and perspectives into political debate and policy - in the post-1997 period. Not only specifically designed to bring together cutting-edge conceptual developments in the sub-discipline of gender and politics, with robust British empirical research, this book also presents reflections on how best to study gender and politics. The empirical findings which are presented through the extensive use of case studies derive from a range of research projects which were undertaken over a period of ten years, and which make use of a variety of research methods and techniques. 4aWomen in politics - Great Britain 4aWomen legislators - Great Britain  a11388/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11389/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11388/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11389/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11389/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11388/MKRI-P/XII-2008
