Journal of
Political Science, Universidad de Chile
Request for article
submission
Special issue: "Gender and Politics", Política, Nº
46, 2006
The Editorial Committee for Política, bi-annual publication from the Universidad de Chile, calls for article submissions on gender and politics.
Case studies on Latin American countries will be given
priority, although article proposals on European and other industrialized
countries are also welcome.
The journal's issue will be organized in two
sections:
1.
Gender and Political
Action
This section aims to present
research projects regarding political institutions and, especially, concerning
the political practices, from a gender perspective. The thematic axes that could
be referred to in this section are:
o
Political leadership,
o
Political recruitment,
o
Political commitment and militancy,
o
Collective action and mobilization
"in the name of the gender",
o
Linkage and relations between
political parties and women's organizations, as well as sexual minority groups,
among others,
o
Women's electoral behavior,
o
Feminization of politics, or
mechanisms that favor female presence in the government, political parties,
unions and other representative organizations such as entrepreneurs', protest
organizations, among others.
Articles focused on analysis of the breakthrough into
traditional male political spaces, such as government or political parties, will
be especially welcomed. Nevertheless, this call for papers does not circumscribe
itself to articles about women's location in politics. It looks to incorporate a
wider spectrum of research that uses gender perspective, related to one or
several of these thematic axes.
2.
Gender and Political
Science
This section invites to a reflection on the place of
gender in the production of knowledge in Political Science. Comparative works
will be welcome, but monographs on gender as a category, variable of analysis,
object or research topic within the discipline will also be considered. Articles
may even touch on the analysis of the linkage between gender relations within a
specific disciplinary area and the modalities of setting research agendas. The
articles may refer to epistemological, bibliographical or field
works.
Recommendations to the
authors
In order to examine their articles'
relevance given the criteria for the upcoming issue, authors are asked to send a
2-3 page summary no later than February 25, 2006 (in English, Spanish or
French). Accepted articles are due on April 15, 2006. The selection of the

April 25, an acceptance notification will be sent to selected authors, including
a request for possible modifications.

French are also accepted. The papers must not exceed 65,000 characters (see
