Sommario/riassunto

This is the only volume where the recent gender quota reform in Norway and other European countries is thoroughly discussed from an economic, political and philosophical point of view. It looks at whether the economic performance of companies is influenced and analyzes why it has been embraced in some countries and rejected in others.
