Excluded from the ranks of elite executive decision-makers for
generations, women are now exercising power as chiefs of government
and chiefs of state. As of April 2016, 112 women in 73 countries
have served as presidents or prime ministers. The Gendered
Executive is a critical examination of national executives,
focusing on matters of identity, representation, and power. The
editors and contributors to this volume address the impact of
female executives through political mobilization and participation,
policy- and decision-making, and institutional change. Other topics
include party nomination processes, the intersectionality of race
and gender, and women-centered U.S. foreign policy in southern
Africa. In addition, case studies from Chile, India, Portugal, and
the United States are presented, as are cross-national comparisons
of women leaders in Latin America. The Gendered Executive will
enhance our understanding of the complexity of gender in and
comparative analyses of executive politics. Contributors include:
Amy C. Alexander, Sheetal Chhabria, Georgia Duerst-Lahti, Maria C.
Escobar-Lemmon, Cory Charles Gooding, Lilly Goren, Karen M. Hult,
Farida Jalalzai, Daniela F. Melo, Catherine Reyes-Housholder,
Ariella R. Rotramel, Leslie A. Schwindt-Bayer, Michelle M.
Taylor-Robinson, and the editors
