Women, policy, and politics

This book offers a powerful new approach to policy studies and encourages students to reflect critically upon the different ways in which policy problems are constructed within policy proposals. Bacchi applies her 'what's the problem represented to be?' approach to focus on a range of policy issues commonly associated with the issues of women's inequality: pay equity, antidiscrimination and affirmative action, education, child care, abortion, domestic violence and sexual harassment.
