About the product

Citing numerous case studies and analysing the similarities and differences between countries, the study examines why there are only a few countries where the influence of women on public policy is comparable with that of men. It also analyses the problem of women not being available for selection or election to public office and the political, structural, economic and social factors related to participation in decision-making. This study is based on the expertise of prominent international scholars and parliamentarians and is written in a style that makes its conclusions clear to all readers.
