eyond Barricades explores how a transition to democracy affects civil society by tracing the levels and arenas of organized participation both before and after democratization. The group hardest hit by this transition to democracy is women, who are often surprised to discover that democracies do not necessarily yield more gender equality or more opportunities for participation than dictatorships.
