Beschreibungen
<p>The face of international politics has changed significantly in the 21st century: it has become increasingly female. Whether that includes women in multilateral meetings, global conferences and embassies, or women at the UN and one of its many agencies in the field, it is apparent that women are accessing leadership positions in a variety of areas. This book investigates the development of gender equality at the United Nations by analyzing women in leadership roles. This introduction of empirical feminism to the study of international organizations applies what is known about women’s participation and representation in comparative politics and gender studies to the United Nations System. It traces women’s access to leadership roles, and explains where and why a range of hurdles prevent women from participating in the work of the UN. In doing so, it offers insights into recruitment and human resources practices and their politics, and into leadership by bureaucratic actors. </p><p></p><p> </p><br><p></p>

She is Author of <i>The United Nations Democracy Agenda (</i>2011) and has published in <i>Global Governance, Global Society, Journal of Women Politics & Policy, and International Studies Perspectives.</i> Her research interests include international organizations, leadership and women in global governance, the UN Security Council and law-making, and international dimensions of democracy and representation.</p>
<p>"The UN is not impenetrable, nor is it static. Kirsten Haack here gives us revealing and nuanced gendered data over time to chart and make sense of the actual workings of the UN. I felt like a feminist miner as I dug into this timely book."</p>

<p>“This book fills a yawning gap. Bringing together feminist theory and leadership studies with an impressive array of data and case studies, Kirsten Haack demonstrates the difference that action on gender parity can make in the flow of ideas, norms, and policies.”</p>

<p>“The achievement of gender parity at the UN is the longest revolution. This is an important book that should be readby all those who care about effective global governance.”</p>

<div><p>"The UN is not impenetrable, nor is it static. It is shaped in important ways by its internal gendered dynamics. Kirsten Haack here gives us revealing and nuanced gendered data over time - between agencies - to chart and make sense of the actual workings of the UN, including the women's campaigns to reform the UN. I felt like a feminist miner as I dug into this timely book."</p><p>— <b>Cynthia Enloe</b>, author of <i>Bananas, Beaches and Bases</i>, updated edition (2014)</p></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>“<i>Women’s Access, Representation and Leadership in the United Nations </i>fills a yawning gap not only in the international organization and UN literatures, but also in the feminist international relations literature. Kirsten Haack brings together feminist theory and leadership studies with an impressive array of data on trends in women’s presence in different parts of the UN system and case studies of five women executive heads of UN agencies. She shows how attitudinal barriers have been far more important than explicit ones, and demonstrates the difference that action on gender parity within institutional processes can make in the flow of ideas, norms, and policies.”<p></p>

“The achievement of gender parity at the UN is the longest revolution. Kirsten Haack traces the struggle for women’s access to, and representation in, senior roles from the League of Nations to today’s UN with mixed outcomes. How and why women have achieved leadership is explained - with vignettes of contemporary women change-makers in global policy. The failure of successive campaigns to break the 70-year pattern of male Secretary-Generals is interrogated for what it can tell us about the tremendous movements for and resistance to equality. This is an important book that should be read by all those who care about effective global governance.”<p></p>
