This illuminating Encyclopedia provides crucial insight into the intersection of gender and power, highlighting the transformative growth of gender and politics as a developing field. Despite historical marginalization and ongoing backlash, this Encyclopedia re-centres gender as a fundamental analytical category in political science.Bridging the fields of gender studies and political science, contributors examine how gendered hierarchies shape political institutions, decision-making and access to resources. They present global, interdisciplinary and intersectional perspectives on key themes such as feminisms, intersectionality, political behaviour, conflict and media. Guided by inclusivity and authorial agency, the Encyclopedia sheds light on gaps in the literature, critiques prevailing theories and charts future research directions. Scholars and students of political science, gender studies and the social sciences more broadly will benefit from this comprehensive and accessible resource. It is also beneficial for practitioners and policymakers looking to enact gender-sensitive policies and practices.Key Features:Includes over 80 compelling entriesWritten by scholars from across the globeChallenges traditional approaches to the disciplineServes as both a reference work and a conceptual resource

This open access book explains why representative democracies need political trust and legitimacy: Political trust is a crucial yet underestimated element in Europe’s representative democracies. A trusting relationship between citizens and the institutions of the state ensures the functioning of democratic systems, reduces transaction costs and facilitates the justification of political decisions. Without the commitment of a critical mass, democratic governments cannot gain legitimacy among the populace. While a stable relationship of trust between citizens and the state through political parties is a prerequisite for representative democracies in normal times, it is even more important in times of significant democratic change and turmoil, i.e., when democracies are in flux. Accordingly, the contributions gathered here examine political trust and legitimacy in Europe using a new conceptual framework – the ActEU conceptual triangle, which draws on citizens’ political attitudes, their political participation, and the representation of their political preferences to map and assess the decline of political trust and legitimacy in Europe.
