Description



About the Book




This comparative study of electoral procedures, trends, and key issues is the first to deal with the representation of women and minorities around the world. Wilma Rule and Joseph Zimmerman have brought together an international team of scholars who show why there is gross underrepresentation of women and minorities internationally and who analyze the cultural, socio-economic, and political barriers to their future electoral successes. The scholars describe the current situation in 20 countries in various regions and point to ways for women and minorities to enhance positions politically. This text is intended for courses in comparative politics, political parties and elections, women in politics, and minority politics.

Review Quotes

This pathbreaking pioneering collection demonstrates... that institutions and electoral procedures matter for the quality and quantity of balanced political representation....[E]specially useful for those schooled in the parochialism of American politics, wherein representative institutions are frequently viewed as a given."-Kathleen Staudt Professor of Political Science The University of Texas at ElPaso
