The book approaches this task at two levels: an argument about the theory of the State and the social analysis of gender; and a set of case studies--childcare, equal employment opportunities, sexual violence--on the interplay between feminism and State structure in Australia during a period of 15 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn drawing on the experience of feminist demands on the State, \u003ci\u003eStaking a Claim \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how the State is constituted by gender relations and shaped by the vicissitudes of sexual politics. It will be a beneficial read for students and researchers of sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge, Chapman \u0026 Hall, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55700753056035,"sku":"9781041104254","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/7336\/2211\/files\/18391723482558.jpg?v=1791038339","url":"https:\/\/agourabookcellar.com\/products\/staking-a-claim-feminism-bureaucracy-and-the-state","provider":"Agoura Book Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
