      abstract = {"Political parties can make or break women's attempts to  stand for political office, yet there have been  surprisingly few systematic studies into the 'secret  garden' of political recruitment. This book investigates  this under-researched area, bringing together insights from  feminist and new institutional theory to explore and  understand the gendered dynamics of institutional  innovation and change in candidate selection and  recruitment. Drawing on an original empirical case study of  candidate selection in post-devolution Scotland, Gender and  Political Recruitment highlights the complex and gendered  dynamics of institutional design, continuity and change in  the political recruitment process and illustrates the  difficulties of reforming recruitment in the face of  powerful institutional and gendered legacies"--},
