innovative, Web-based social interactions, and they are
increasingly popular among consumers, the private sector, and more
recently, government. Citizen 2.0: Public and Governmental
Interaction through Web 2.0 Technologies defines the role of Web

decision-making. The collection provides a vital resource for

Governing in a Global World captures the panorama of women
governing around the world. Even though the modern era marks
history's greatest advancements for women, worldwide they hold
fewer than 30 percent of decision-making positions and are often
missing from negotiating tables where policies are made and
conflicts resolved. The opening chapters present trends and context
for studying women in public service by focusing on path-setters
across the globe, the status of women in the world's executive and
legislative bodies, and their participation in public service
across several nations. Later chapters examine power, leadership
and representation of women in public service, with several
chapters looking at women governing from a regional perspective in
the Middle East, Sub Sahara Africa, Latin America, and China. The
final chapter presents empirical evidence that shows how policies
to increase women's representation in the public arena reduce
gender inequality more than any other policy intervention. Taken
together, the chapters illustrate the worldwide importance of, and
challenges to, promoting gender equality and women governing.
