Through interview and the application of comparative and dynamic law-making framework, this study categorizes the varied and fragmentary process ofgender law-making since the 1990s into competing pluralism, corporate pluralism,and liberal corporatism; three different types of interest intermediation and state-society relationships. This study further infers the causal explanation of theeffectiveness of different law-making models. Meanwhile, during the differingand prolonged law-making process, the power configuration between the statesectors and social groups has produced different results. As the process is displayedas different causal modules, this study also concerned with whether and how totransfer certain models to different policy sectors. This study attempts to clarifythe structural composition and relationships between various gender law-makingmodules. Through mapping out the policy models, intentional learning andtransfer among them becomes possible. However, this must be based upon a seriesof interests, power reconfiguration and coordination between social groups and state,in their respective and interactive arenas.
