Although women constitute half of the world's population, their
participation in the political sphere remains problematic. While
existing research on women politicians from the United States, the
United Kingdom and Canada sheds light on the challenges and
opportunities they face, we still have a very limited understanding
of women's political participation in emerging democracies. Women
in Politics and Media: Perspectives From Nations in Transition is
the first collection to de-Westernize the scholarship on women,
politics and media by: 1) highlighting the latest research on
countries and regions that have not been 'the usual suspects'; 2)
featuring a diverse group of scholars, many of non-Western origin;
3) giving voice through personal interviews to politically active
women, thus providing the reader with a rare insight into women's
agency in the political structures of emerging democracies. Each
chapter examines the complex women, politics and media dynamic in a
particular nation-state, taking into consideration the specific
political, historic and social context. With 23 case studies and
interviews from Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East
and North Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, Russia and the
former Soviet republics, this volume will be of interest to
students, media scholars and policy makers from developed and
emerging democracies.
