"The growth of the women's international human rights movement worldwide and its emergence as a field of study has led to a valuable but increasingly self-contained literature, often cut off from developments in feminist legal theory, on the one hand, and conceptions of the different legal contexts in which international human rights operate, on the other.

"Federalism is simultaneously a set of institutions - the division of public authority between two or more constitutionally defined orders of government - and a set of ideas, which underpin shared and divided sovereignty, multiple loyalties and identities, and governance through multi-level institutions.
