Abrar, S. and Lovenduski, Joni and Margetts, H. (1998) Sexing London: the gender mix of urban policy actors. International Political Science Review 19 (2), pp. 147-171. ISSN 0192-5121.
Abstract
This article proposes an analysis of London's gender system. First, it explores the relationship between gender and the local economy and culture. Second, it examines decision-making structures in the local state and how they are gendered. Third, the article investigates London's autonomous women's movement and the extent to which its constituent groups possess the resources necessary to influence policy. Fourth, it looks at two issue areas, homelessness and hospital reorganization and the ways in which policy-making in these areas deal with gender issues. The authors conclude that women and particularly feminists can influence policy but the degree of influence varies by locality, organizational context and issue.
