Abstract

Gender equality and women empowerment are central to academic and policy debates on development. In the spirit of celebrating and reflecting on 75 years of research published by Public Administration and Development (PAD), this article aims to take stock of the journal's contribution to the knowledge base and practice of promoting gender equality. This article reviews research output published in PAD and identifies key themes and perspectives on gender equality and their reflection on the practical implementation of equalising policies. We use thematic analysis to review 43 relevant articles and evaluate the intellectual landscape, shedding light on the journal's contribution to gender equality research. Four broad themes are discussed along with their implications for practice and future research. We highlight the importance of not only expanding the horizons of gender equality research but also developing keen awareness reflected in the scholarship of the changing landscape of gender and the need to balance constructions of gender and the high variability of gender norms and practices in the Global South that should be taken into account when designing policies. This article concludes with recommendations and several questions that invite public administration researchers and policymakers to take this conversation and develop it further through research, education, and practice.

性别平等在促进发展方面的作用

性别平等和妇女赋权是有关发展的学术和政策辩论的核心。本着庆祝和反思《公共行政与发展》（PAD）发表 75 年研究成果的精神，本文旨在总结该期刊对促进性别平等的知识基础和实践所做的贡献。本文回顾了《公共行政与发展》发表的研究成果，并确定了性别平等的关键主题和观点，以及它们对平等政策实际实施的反思。我们采用主题分析法，对 43 篇相关文章进行了评述，并对知识领域进行了评估，揭示了该期刊对性别平等研究的贡献。我们讨论了四大主题及其对实践和未来研究的影响。我们强调，重要的是不仅要扩大性别平等研究的视野，还要在学术研究中敏锐地认识到性别问题不断变化的格局，以及平衡性别建构与全球南部性别规范和实践的高度差异性的必要性，在制定政策时应考虑到这一点。本文最后提出了一些建议和几个问题，请公共行政研究人员和政策制定者通过研究、教育和实践，将这一对话推向深入。

期刊介绍： Since its founding in 1949, Public Administration and Development (PAD) has been reviewing and assessing the practice of public administration at the local, regional, national and international levels where it is directed to managing development processes in low and medium income countries. It gives special attention to investigations of the management of all phases of public policy formulation and implementation which have an interest and importance beyond a particular government and state. PAD has a particular interest in the link between public administration practice and management research and provides a professional and academic forum for reporting on new experiences and experiments. PAD also publishes articles on development management research in the NGO sector. It is widely read by academics and practitioners alike, including consultants, donors and policy advisers. With its case study approach, it is also frequently used for teaching and training purposes.
