Joshi.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.WomenPolitical activityAsiaCase studiesWomenGovernment policyAsiaWomenPolitical activityWomenGovernment policy305.42095Joshi Devin K.Echle ChristianNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910584586703321Substantive Representation of Women in Asian Parliaments2901809UNINA02611nam 2200577Ia 450 991096875030332120251015001141.00-8173-8264-X(CKB)1000000000774914(EBL)454518(OCoLC)424523417(SSID)ssj0000262779(PQKBManifestationID)11220710(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000262779(PQKBWorkID)10271448(PQKB)10733151(OCoLC)562903564(MdBmJHUP)muse9273(Au-PeEL)EBL454518(CaPaEBR)ebr10309820(MiAaPQ)EBC454518(EXLCZ)99100000000077491420091019e20071985 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrTsewa's gift magic and meaning in an Amazonian society /Michael F.
