description In this article, I present some theoretical and empirical reflections on the nexus of women and politics in Pakistan, embedding them into larger international disciplinary debates on democracy, democratization, political representation and participation within the framework of electoral politics (e.g. quota regimes) as well as empirical considerations in a regional context marked by gender mainstreaming interventions, in addition to methodological reflections on studying political phenomena and dynamics in the Global South, employing feminist methodologies as a European comparative political scientist studying South Asian gender politics. I would argue, that a carefully self-reflective and calibrated approach of Grounded Theory as well as a critical, context-sensitive use of key concepts is paramount for any such inquiry, which should not only inform within the academic context of the society researched, but also - and even more importantly - "talk back" and "write back" to mainstream disciplinary debates, both in the Global North and South, reviewing and revising (comparative) understandings of gender and politics in transition contexts.
