Governing in a Global World : Women in Public Service Paperback / softback
Edited by Maria J. D'Agostino, Marilyn Marks Rubin
Paperback / softback
Description
Governing in a Global World captures the panorama of women governing around the world.
Even though the modern era marks history’s greatest advancements for women, worldwide they hold fewer than 30 percent of decision-making positions and are often missing from negotiating tables where policies are made and conflicts resolved.
The opening chapters present trends and context for studying women in public service by focusing on path-setters across the globe, the status of women in the world’s executive and legislative bodies, and their participation in public service across several nations.
Later chapters examine power, leadership and representation of women in public service, with several chapters looking at women governing from a regional perspective in the Middle East, Sub Sahara Africa, Latin America, and China.
The final chapter presents empirical evidence that shows how policies to increase women’s representation in the public arena reduce gender inequality more than any other policy intervention.
Taken together, the chapters illustrate the worldwide importance of, and challenges to, promoting gender equality and women governing.
