为什么要发展一种性别比较政治？正如本节中的批判性观点所表明的那样，这个问题有很多答案。我想在这里着重说明两个原因：第一，为了更深入地了解政治机构的运作，第二，解释这些机构与社会行为者，包括那些追求两性平等议程的行为者之间的关系。具体地说，这篇文章不仅主张性别比较政治，而且还主张性别和制度的比较政治。讨论的重点是使用新制度主义理论的可能性，特别是与其对制度的规范和动态理解有关的理论，以更深入地了解性别塑造政治机构的方式，并通过与包括女权主义者在内的社会行为者的互动，了解如何打破性别规范，为这些行为者开辟新的空间。
Why develop a comparative politics of gender? As the critical perspectives in this section demonstrate, there are many answers to this question. I would like to focus here on two reasons: first, for gaining a deeper understanding of the operations of political institutions, and second, for explaining the relationship between these institutions and social actors, including those pursuing a gender equality agenda. To be specific, this essay argues not just for a comparative politics of gender but for a comparative politics of gender and institutions. The discussion focuses on the possibility of using neo-institutionalist theory, especially in relation to its normative and dynamic understanding of institutions, to gain a deeper understanding of the way that gender shapes political institutions and also, through interaction with social actors, including feminists, the way gender norms can be disrupted to open new spaces for these actors.
