Women in Executive Power studies the participation of women in the
political executive around the world-notably in cabinet positions
as ministers and sub-ministers and as heads of government and
state. Providing multiple case studies in each chapter, the book
provides regional overviews of nine different world regions
covering those with the fewest to the most women in executive
power. Evaluating the role of socio-cultural, economic and
political variables of women's access to cabinet positions and
positions of head of state and government, the book shows that
women are increasingly moving into positions previously considered
'male'. Tracing the historical trends of women's participation in
governments that has markedly increased in the last two decades,
the book assesses the factors that have contributed to women's
increasing presence in executives and the extent to which women
executives, once in office, represent women's interests. With case
studies from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, the Arab world and
Oceania, Women in Executive Power will be of interest to scholars
of comparative politics, gender and women's studies.
