ABSTRACT
In the second commentary chapter of this volume, Anne Marie Goetz reviews the framework introduced and explores the ways forward for integrating gender equity in development policy. The chapter argues that the ‘power domains’ is a valuable framework that encompasses a wider range of political factors that influence the promotion of gender equity policy, including women's movements and political settlement types. The volume also shows how women are often relatively marginal to the power centres of political settlements. Building on this, the chapter takes the discussion forward by highlighting the need for transforming political settlements so that gender equity concerns are not alien but integral to them.
