Synopsis:

This edited volume brings together empirical studies of gender and employment in the local government sector - around the world - and the ways in which gender plays a role in the recent restructuring of local government in industrialized democracies. Focusing not just on women employees but on male local government workers and the performance of masculinities in the local government sector, and taking a holistic view of gender equity in the local government environment, this book includes an examination of diverse geographical areas including Australia and New Zealand, North America, and Europe. Through the use of multiple case studies and including an examination of women in the professions, women in trades, and women in administrative positions, a common theme of the book is the issue of fundamental change, which has occurred across the sector in many different countries. Theoretically rich and informed by contemporary gender theory and critical management studies, this volume will appeal to those interested in the subject of gender and local government employment as well as gender and critical management scholars.
