The representation of women in parliament is a subject of extensive
research and a focus for political action in the last decade. The
wide variation in women's parliamentary presence contradicts the
expectation that established or consolidated democracies are more
supportive of the presence of women in political life than emerging
democracies. This volume explains this variation through a series
of closely investigated case studies from the post-Communist
transition democracies of Eastern Europe and emerging democracies
in Asia and the Middle East to the long-established liberal
democratic states. The volume examines the history of women's
legislative involvement, clearly addressing the issue of equal
opportunities for women in political life on a cross-national
basis. It also identifies innovative solutions to redress the
power-sharing balance between women and men. Offering a unique
comparative perspective, Sharing Power will appeal to students and
scholars of politics, women's studies, history and legislative
studies.
