✦ Synopsis

This article explores the themes of democratization, participation and accountability, through the analysis of gender and simultaneous economic and political reform in Argentina, Chile and Peru. It argues for a framework which examines both the activities of the actors involved as well as the structures and institutions which constrain them. It begins by examining the terms of transition before moving on the consolidation of competitive electoral politics. After a discussion of appropriate approaches, the second half begins the gendered analysis of economic reform by focusing on social sector adjustment and changes in patterns of income generation.
