Women's Mobilizations for Political Representation in Patriarchal States: Models from Japan and South Korea; Ki-young Shin Conclusion; Renata Siemienska Index.Despite explicit commitments to gender equality, women experience complex modes of disadvantage and discrimination in all nations of the world. Offering sophisticated insights into the persistence of gendered differences in opportunities, roles, power, and rights in societies across the globe, this volume investigates factors that both enable and constrain women's advancement. From intimate relations within families, to social norms, relations, ideologies, and structures of power, to political institutions, electoral systems, and public policies, the chapters analyze possibilities for and obstacles to inclusive democratic practices and identify interventions essential to enable democratic values to take root. Contributors from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the USA provide detailed assessments of the social, economic, and political condition of women, their mobilizations to produce transform gendered power and authority in diverse nations, and their efforts to enhance the quality of their lives, their communities, and democratic governance.SociologyPolitical sociologySocial policyPolitical scienceDemocracyGender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Political Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33000Political Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000Democracyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911050Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020Sociology.Political sociology.Social policy.Political science.Democracy.Gender Studies.Political Sociology.Social Policy.Political Science.Democracy.Social Policy.320.082POL007000POL029000POL043000SOC032000bisacshVianello Minoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHawkesworth Maryedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910253321003321Gender and Power2496598UNINA
