Party Politics and the Implementation of Gender Quotas: Resisting Institutions (with Petra Meier and Birgit Sauer) | Palgrave 2023

“This book breaks new ground in quota research. It shows us why seemingly ambitious quota rules may turn out weak, whicle unambitious rules can be fortified by factors governing the implementation process. It is a must for researchers as well as for policy makers and women’s rights activists.” — Drude Dahlerup, Professpr Emerita of Political Science, Stockholm University, Sweden.
 
“In this must-read volume, top gender and politics scholars shed new light on European political parties’ implementation of gender quotas. The editors’ conclusion — that progressive gender regimes make implementation more effective — offers a powerful and timely reminder that simply adopting gender equality policies cannot ensure women’s political representation.” — Jennifer M. Piscopo, Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Research and Scholarship, Occidental College, Los Angeles, USA.

Gendered Mobilizations and Intersectional Challenges | ECPR Press / Rowman & Littlefield International 2019

„Drawing on a wide range of European and North American cases, this urgently needed volume asks: what does social movement intersectionality look like, when is it employed, how, and to what end? The book tackles some of the biggest challenges facing social movements today, which find themselves under pressure from the economy, a perceived immigration crisis, and political forces that are tearing communities apart. This important book allows for new ways of thinking about how to build alliances across social identities in trying times.“ — Aili Mari Tripp, Wangari Maathai Professor of Political Science & Gender and Women’s Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison
 
„Gendered Mobilizations and Intersectional Challenges is essential reading, from the comprehensive theoretical overview in the introduction, to the diverse and insightful case studies presented. Making intersectionality much more than a fashionable word, this collection examines the processes and practices that spur or block collaborative social movement strategies across many differences of status, political power and identity in the US and Europe. This book is perfectly timed to enhance activists’ and scholars’ appreciation of why doing intersectional movement work is essential to support these democracies in the face of growing attacks on inclusion and equality.“ — Myra Marx Ferree, Alice H. Cook Professor of Sociology (emerita), University of Wisconsin-Madison
 
„The top-notch contributors represent a range of countries, disciplines, and generations, joining to produce a must-read volume for those interested in how contemporary social movements succeed at intersectional praxis. The authors demonstrate how social movements respond to intragroup inequalities, give voice to those marginalized within their ranks, and form alliances with other movements – increasing their ability to achieve social justice.“ — Louise K. Davidson-Schmich, Professor of Political Science, University of Miami
 
„This important volume—the first of its kind—brings into focus the challenges and opportunities of intersectional practices within gendered movements, and in a broad range of contemporary social movements, from Occupy, to Solidarity with refugees and BlackLivesMatter. Gendered Mobilizations and Intersectional Challenges is a crucial contribution for our understanding of intersectionality, that will help both scholars and activists identify and understand a plurality of intersectional voices.“  — Eléonore Lépinard, Associate Professor, Centre for Gender Studies, University of Lausanne
 
„This book importantly enhances existing scholarship on gendered movements. It does so by jointly studying feminist and women’s movements with mobilizations that are gendered but have another dominant focus (on race or sexuality), or that act at the intersections. It also presents a much needed theoretical and methodological framework for applying intersectionality theory to the study of social movements.“ — Karen Celis, Research Professor, Department of Political Science, Vrije Universiteit Brussel

 

NGOs, Civil Society, and the Public Sphere | Cambridge University Press 2013

NGOs, Civil Society, and the Public Sphere by Sabine Lang
 
„Sabine Lang has done a fantastic service to both researchers and policy advocates concerned with civil society and civic participation.“ – Myra Marx Ferree, Alice H. Cook Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of Varieties of Feminism: German Gender Politics in Global Perspective
 
„A tour de force. What is impressive is Lang’s ability to navigate at so many levels – theory, research, and practice; the local to the transnational; past and present; description and critique – all while weaving a consistent and compelling argument supported by both aggregate and field-based research.“ – Michael X. Delli Carpini, Dean of Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania
 
„Sabine Lang’s research has long provided clarity to the relation between NGOs, social movements, and the state. An insightful, smart, and valuable contribution to a political theory for our times.“ – Inderpal Grewal, Yale University
 
„A masterful and original piece of scholarship by a critical thinker who spans the worlds of academia and policy in ways that, one hopes, can make a difference.“ – Joan W. Scott, Harold F. Linder Professor of Social Science, Institute for Advanced Study
