Women, Insecurity and Violence in a Post-9/11 World, by Bronwyn Winter

scholarly implications and of practical policy recommendations. Rincker follows social scientific principles of transparency and replicability – the questionnaire used in the hybrid interviews can be found in an appendix – as well as validity and reliability. The surveys are carefully back-translated to reflect linguistic specificities, and there is a wealth of empirical data on decentralization reforms and major events affecting women for each country in the appendices. Rincker’s writing style is highly accessible to a wide audience: students, researchers, policy makers and practitioners, alike. At the same time there are methodological weaknesses. She analyzes only superficially the content of feminist legislation in each country to determine whether the policy demands of the women’s groups were substantively reflected with no mention of the stages after formal adoption where feminist policies can be completely subverted and changed. Also, the snapshot approach of the policy priority matching – taken at one moment in time –means that her analysis of substantive representation cannot determine whether policy priorities shifted through decentralization reform over the long haul. These, however, are relatively minor when compared to the solid and sound nature of this innovative study which shows that a slow scientific and problem-driven approach can make a difference in understanding how to make our democracies more democratic.
