Abstract
The results of this research provide many reasons to be enthusiastic regarding the impact of gender experts in Western postindustrial democracies and prominent international institutions worldwide. Gender experts are getting into the policy process. They are being asked by government actors to testify in parliament, provide research on policy issues, and help develop policies and projects in some of the most important institutions globally. Perhaps even more importantly, gender expert recommendations are being incorporated into formally adopted policies and projects, increasing the chance for truly impacting the lives of women.
