Berlin, October 29-31, 2014

Research on gender and governance has found substantial evidence on positive relationships between gender equality and democratic norms, peace and security, economic performance, and anti-corruption. The Collaborative Research Center SFB 700 “Governance in Areas of Limited Statehood” hosts a workshop organised by Amy C. Alexander and Tanja A. Börzel to explore why and when gender equality matters for good governance. We call for papers that investigate into the increasingly established link between indicators of gender equality and good governance. In particular, we encourage papers to explore the relationship between gender equality and good governance in areas of limited statehood, where the state is too weak and often not willing to provide collective goods and services.

Abstracts of 500 words should be sent to amy.catherine.alexander@gmail.com and tanja.boerzel@fu-berlin.de by 1 May 2014.

Travel and accommodation of paper givers will be covered by the SFB700: “Governance in the Areas of Limited Statehood.”
