- Description
- The essays in this book constitute a comparative move toward defining new and unified theoretical orientations to studying representation among women. The book begins with a theoretical positioning of the meaning of women's interests, issues and preferences. It then looks at descriptive representation in political parties, high courts, and legislatures, as well as how definitions of ‘interest’ affect who represents women in legislatures and social movements. Chapters include cases from the United States, Latin America, Western Europe and Africa. Contents: 1. Dilemmas in the meaning and measurement of representation / Maria C. Escobar-Lemmon, and Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson: 2. Plotting the path from one to the other / Karen Beckwith: 3. Intersectional representation or representing intersectionality? / Ange-Marie Hancock: 4. Representing women / Drude Dahlerup: 5. The effect of preferential voting on women’s representation / Richard E. Matland, and Emelie Lilliefeldt: 6. Gender, high courts, and ideas about representation in Western Europe / Valerie Hoekstra, Miki Caul Kittilson, and Elizabeth Andrews Bond: 7. Political inclusion and representation of afrodescendant women in Latin America / Mala Htun: 8. How civil society represents women / Alice J. Kang: 9. Unpacking women’s issues / Michele L. Swers: 10.

Escobar-Lemmon, Leslie A. Schwindt-Bayer, and Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson: 12. Does presence produce representation of interests? / Maria C. Escobar-Lemmon, and Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson

- Description
- During the years between 1980 and 1999, in the midst of war and economic crisis, a record number of women were elected to national legislatures in Central American republics. In this study the authors explore the reasons for this unprecedented political rise of women, and what effect it has had on the region. Focusing on Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, the authors analyze national and regional indicators to evaluate various hypotheses concerning the reasons for women's electoral success in the region, as well as to make comparisons with findings from other world regions.

- Description
- This study marks a milestone in UNESCO's project on 'Women Higher Education and Development' which promotes the participation of women both in higher education itself and also in the wider arena of sustainable social development. The ultimate purpose is to ensure the implementation of the aims and objectives of the Beijing Platform of Action, adopted at the 4th World Conference on Women in 1994. This document defined an agenda for women in the 3rd millennium which is based on human rights and reaffirms their rich potential as full partners in social development. Women graduates constitute a significant group in society because their level of education ensures their empowerment in a changing world. Thus, it is logical that they should be much more present in the leadership of higher education systems and institutions, in their chosen careers and in all areas of civil society. This paper is an examination of why there are so few women in senior administrative positions in Latin American universities.
