Substantive Representation of Women in Asian Parliaments (Paperback): Devin K. Joshi, Christian Echle Substantive Representation of Women in Asian Parliaments (Paperback)
Devin K. Joshi, Christian Echle
R1,188 Discovery Miles 11 880 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Combining data from nearly 100 interviews with national parliamentarians from ten Asian countries, the contributors to this book analyze and evaluate the advancement of gender equality in Asia. As of the year 2022, no country in Asia has gender parity in its parliament. Meanwhile, the proportion of national-level women parliamentarians in Asia averages a mere 20%. What is more important than simple descriptive representation, however, is whether outcomes for women are improving. Rather than focusing on numerical representation, the chapters in this book focus on the substantive representation of women. In other words, what do women and men parliamentarians do to advance women's well-being and gender equality? Using semi-structured interviews, the author of each chapter examines these efforts in the context of a specific Asian country. The case studies include Bangladesh, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Timor-Leste. The book is an essential resource for scholars and students of Asian politics and the politics of gender.

Strengthening Governance Globally - Forecasting the Next 50 Years (Paperback): Barry B. Hughes, Devin K. Joshi, Jonathan D... Strengthening Governance Globally - Forecasting the Next 50 Years (Paperback)
Barry B. Hughes, Devin K. Joshi, Jonathan D Moyer, Timothy D. Sisk, Jose Roberto Solorzano
R1,341 Discovery Miles 13 410 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"Strengthening Governance Globally" is the fifth volume in a series entitled "Patterns of Potential Human Progress" that explores prospects for human development and the improvement of the global human condition. Each volume considers one key aspect of how development appears to be unfolding globally, how we would like it to evolve, and how better to move it in desired directions. This large format, full color volume identifies the provision of security, the building of government capacity, and the broadening and deepening of inclusion as three dimensions of governance on which high-income countries have traditionally made long, halting, and somewhat sequential historical transitions. In contrast, many developing countries today struggle with all three governance transition dimensions simultaneously and in a relative rush to broadly defined development. The volume maps and uses the growing empirical database on governance variables for understanding historical change on these dimensions and in recent decades.
