This book explores the relationship between women; the state and democratic politics in Ireland today. It highlights the conservatism of the political culture shared by all traditions on the island; and how this culture circumscribes womenrsquo;s political agency in Northern Ireland and Ireland. The book explores the opportunities and obstacles to womenrsquo;s participation and representation on each side of the border. The chapters take the view that public decision-making institutions and processes are subject to rules and practices that reinforce the gendered foundations of democratic politics. They document womenrsquo;s continuing quest for full participation and equal representation in these male-gendered arenas. The contributors focus on the marginalised experiences of women in modern politics in Ireland and detail their efforts to challenge the masculinized status quo. The book addresses the classical issues of citizenship; participation; representation and equal rights in a sustained analysis of the political systems on the island. It also deals with modern issues ndash; multiculturalism; peace-building; the male-gendered legislature and the unequal nature of womenrsquo;s citizenship in constitutional; institutional and policy contexts. The book is completed by a comprehensive appendix of all women elected to political office on the island from 1918-2013.This book was published as a special issue of Irish Political Studies.

Do you love Jazz?By MtBoyI dont want to discourage anyone but if you dont know what the meaning of "music theory" is. wait until you do before you buy this book. That said. Mr. Lagrimas is a multi instrumentalist and ukulele master who has managed to put the fundamentals of jazz ukulele into print. I am less than 1/3rd through this book and I know that I will not only be a better player but will have a much better understanding of jazz and music in general because of it. I have a good collection of ukulele workbooks and this one rates at the very top. If you like Jazz and you have a ukulele. you should have this book.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
