The article outlines four broad challenges to advancing gender analysis through the political settlements framework. The first is <em>conceptual<\/em>, that the focus on elites, and the reliance on public sphere dynamics to explain development outcomes, structurally excludes women. The second is <em>epistemological<\/em>, that the role of the scholar in designating certain groups to be \u2018elites\u2019 and others to be \u2018non-elites\u2019 merits further interrogation. The third is <em>methodological<\/em>, that because of other exclusions, gender is infrequently identified as a pertinent variable or category of analysis in seeking to explain development outcomes through the political settlements framework. The final is <em>political<\/em>, that the avowedly non-normative position of political settlements analysis risks overlooking norms implicit to the work, in particular implicit gender norms. Nevertheless, the article argues, in the prevailing context of technocratic approaches to global gender policy-making, the political settlements framework may offer promise through its avowed focus on \u2018doing politics\u2019. Moreover, the political settlements framework may usefully counter the tendency of global gender policy to essentialise the state as a single domain of activity, and to instead utilise more fully the different constituencies within the state, and the relationships between them, in order to effect positive change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Gender; Political Settlements<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Return to\u00a0search\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/peacerep.org\/publications-database\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">all publications<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gendering Political Settlements: Challenges and Opportunities Citation: Download journal article.
