Parliaments around the world are still overwhelmingly populated by
men, yet studies of male dominance are much rarer than are studies
of female under-representation. In this book, men in politics are
the subjects of a gendered analysis. How do men manage to hold on
to positions of power despite societal trends in the opposite
direction? And why do men seek to cooperate mainly with other men?
Elin Bjarnegard studies how male networks are maintained and
expanded and seeks to improve our understanding of the rationale
underlying male dominance in politics. The findings build on
results both from statistical analyses of parliamentary composition
worldwide and from extensive field work in Thailand. A new concept,
homosocial capital, is coined and developed to help us understand
the persistence of male political dominance.
