Description

Product Description A number of prominent women s issues create novel policy problems that require creative, and sometimes unique, regulatory and legal responses. This project uses a comparative case study approach to explore UK policymaking in the areas of abortion, rape, prostitution and pornography. Each chapter applies a different element of new institutionalism to examine the processes and practices in policy-making and enforcement, and examines a range of bodies such as the legal system, medical profession, civil society, police force and mass media. The analysis reveals a common thread that runs throughout decision making in these areas; a constant balancing act between regulation that protects women, and regulation that impinges upon human rights, and a continual dance between the labels of criminal and victim . Largely reflective of longstanding dominant imagery that surrounds women, it is argued that key institutions retain a stronghold over policymaking in these domains and this has served to perpetuate harmful and negative stereotyping of women s issues. Review A welcome and timely addition to scholarly research on women's experiences in the political, policy and regulatory landscape. This tour de force covers a breadth of issues on the status of women in policy institutions, the regulation of abortion, pornography and gender based violence. It offers a uniquely multi-disciplinary perspective drawing upon historical, sociological, feminist, political and governance frameworks to offer new insights on the social exclusion of women. Cooper provides a sound, empirical evidence base for improving policy and the quality of life for women.--Karen Johnston, Professor of Politics and Public Policy, Glasgow Caledonian University By examining the regulation of women in the UK, this fine book is foremost about gender issues and policy-making in the national setting. It is, however, also of great interest to students and scholars of European studies as it convincingly shows how a policy-area of strong national institutions and legacies is influenced by and respond to European integration, be it due to the free movement of women as the abortion chapter demonstrates or the ways in which supranational law and the open internet influences the regulation of pornography.--Dorte Sindbjerg Martinsen, Deputy Head and Professor of Political Science, University of Copenhagen About the Author Sarah Cooper is an Associate Lecturer at the University of Exeter. Her PhD, 'Comparing Abortion Policy in the UK and Republic of Ireland; An Unexpected Case of Europeanization?', was successfully examined in February 2012 without corrections. She has taught on various modules and received runner-up in the University s Teaching Awards 2013.
