Abstract
Policies institutionalizing new legal rights for promoting gender equality are easily forced to be mere nominal in the processes of policy-implementation, or reduced to ineffective ones through the processes of policy-evaluation conducted by those who are antagonistic to the original policies, in the similar way as many other policies are. It is therefore necessary for the politics of gender which aims at realizing the idea of gender equality to get involved in the whole policy cycle comprised of the processes of agenda-setting, policy-making, policy-decision, policy-implementation, and policy-evaluation.
