Abstract

Gendered dynamics of political authority, violence, and inclusion across diverse institutional and socio-political contexts. Together, the contributions demonstrate how gender operates as a structuring force that influences political effectiveness, institutional practices, and the boundaries of belonging. It offers a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective on the persistent tensions between gender, political participation, and the politics of inclusion and exclusion.
