NEW TITLE !
-----------------------------------
Going for gender balance (2002)
-----------------------------------
This title is intended to be a practical ideas book.

The first part of this guide reviews successful experiences and innovative 
ways of approaching balanced decision making, giving examples in a range of 
countries, thus providing access to gender projects and initiatives which 
have rarely been disseminated.
The books moves beyond electoral politics, which are by far the most 
documented, and focuses on other groups which are also involved in social 
and economic decision making, such as trade unions and NGOs, thereby 
informing and inspiring activists in areas where the most work remains to 
be done.

Part two focuses on persuasive communication tcehniques used to sensitise 
opinion leaders and the general public to issues of gender balance. The 
ultimate goal is to make gender balance second nature to European 
societies, thus today's awareness-raising strategies - pre-election 
campaigns, media-sensitisation campaigns, networks, protest actions and 
"grass-roots cookie days" - will one day become artefacts from the past.
