Political institutions profoundly shape political life and are also gendered. This groundbreaking collection synthesises new institutionalism and gendered analysis using a new approach - feminist institutionalism - in order to answer crucial questions about power inequalities, mechanisms of continuity, and the gendered limits of change.
Due to the demand for flexible working hours and employees who are available around the clock, the time patterns of childcare and schooling have increasingly become a political issue. Comparing the development of different “time policies” of half-day and all-day provisions in a variety of Eastern and Western European countries since the end of World War II, this innovative volume brings together internationally known experts from the fields of comparative education, history, and the social and political sciences, and makes a significant contribution to this new interdisciplinary field of comparative study.

The Centers for Austrian Studies, founded by the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research since the 1970s play an important role for the Austrian Scientific Community. Their tasks are to promote Austrian and Central European Studies in their host nations and to give Austrian students the possibility to conduct research aboard and to get in touch with local colleagues. This anthology contains a description of the Institution's history and current status as well as the working papers of their present PhD students. Their research covers a period from the 17th to the middle of the 20th century.
