Publisher's Synopsis
Priya KurianÆs research offers environmental policy scholarship a new, theoretically rich, and empirically validated approach to understanding the significance of gender to environmental policy. A significant contribution to environmental and feminist policy scholarship is the conceptualization of gender as a construct that is reflected and reinforced in the actions and world views of individuals and institutions, in the distribution and control over knowledge and resources, and in the practices and policies of bureaucracies. The work opens up a path to understand, evaluate, and unpack the deep-rooted gender ideologies that shape understandings of and approaches to the environment and that, more broadly, influence political processes, power relations, and access to knowledge and resources. - - - -
