Les Femmes Au Parlement - Au-Dela Du Nombre (French, Paperback, Illustrated Ed)

Drawing on the experiences of women and men working as activists, researchers, and politicians, this French translation examines the channels through which women may seek to increase their political representation and identifies the strategies through which women can be more effective in parliament. Political obstacles, quota systems, nomination procedures, and future possibilities are covered with attention given to the practical interests of academics, activists, journalists, bureaucrats, and women in politics. Political, social, economic, and cultural contexts are presented through detailed case studies from countries in electoral transition and with established democracies. International IDEA is an intergovernmental organization that works to support electoral processes and strengthen democracy.
