Women in Parliament: Beyond Numbers

The International IDEA handbook about women making a political impact through parliaments
Women in Parliament: Beyond Numbers

More than 4,000 women today are parliamentarians. The second International IDEA handbook looks beyond this statistic towards the political impact these women can and have made through parliaments. Contributors include leading researchers, parliamentarians and activists. The handbook describes some of the most pertinent mechanisms and strategies women can use to impact on policies and political processes. It examines such topics as quotas and electoral systems, and includes case studies which highlight the range of issues women face in parliament in Costa Rica, Egypt, India, Jordan, Lebanon, Norway, Russia and South Africa. Designed as an easy-to-use reference book for politicians, it is also an excellent training manual and text book. (ISBN: 91-89098-19-6) $US 16.00 plus postage.
