This comprehensive Research Handbook draws on interdisciplinary approaches to understand the integration of gender+ equality into policymaking worldwide. Leading international experts examine how gender mainstreaming has evolved, why it matters and where improvements can be made.

Contributors engage with the theoretical and practical application of gender mainstreaming across diverse policy areas, such as health, education, climate and migration. Chapter authors discuss key topics including feminist theory, polarization, gender-based violence and decolonization. They also address gender mainstreaming's limitations and potential future, encouraging reflexive and forward-looking thinking in order to ask whether the concept remains a useful and transformative strategy.

The Research Handbook on Gender Mainstreaming is an indispensable reference for students and academics in gender studies, political science, public policy and sociology. It also provides valuable practical tools for practitioners, policymakers and activists involved in advancing gender+ equality.
