Pressezitat
'Rethinking the conventional supply-and-demand model of political recruitment, Gender and Political Recruitment represents a seminal contribution to the emerging literature on feminist institutionalism. Combining macro- and micro-level data on candidate selection dynamics in Scotland, Kenny provides a nuanced and critical appraisal of the prospects for reforming institutions in the face of powerful gendered legacies. The book thus offers important new insights to institutionalist scholars, feminist research, and most importantly those interested in forging new syntheses across these approaches.'Mona Lena Krook, Associate Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA
'Meryl Kenny's book demonstrates the extent to and ways in which processes of political recruitment are gendered. She provides both evidence and argument of such gendering to be a continuing process that interacts with the formal and informal political institutions through which processes of political recruitment operate. Her analysis demonstrates the crucial importance of feminist institutionalist approaches to the understanding of how political representation is gendered.'
Joni Lovenduski FBA, Anniversary Professor of Politics, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
'In this brilliant debut, Meryl Kenny combines conceptual innovation, forensic analysis, and compelling story-telling to capture the gendered dynamics of the institutions of political recruitment. Gender and Political Recruitment demonstrates the considerable promise of a feminist institutionalist approach for not only gender and politics scholars but also for 'mainstream' political science. It should be required reading for anyone engaged with, or intrigued by, the gendered puzzles of political recruitment and the wider dynamics of inequality in political life.'
Fiona Mackay, Professor of Politics, University of Edinburgh, UK
