Авторы данной книги стремятся ответить на вопрос, почему женщины остаются одной из самой недопредставленной группой в политической сфере. Объяснительные концепции выстраивались исследователями по двум направлениям: с одной стороны, возможно женщины не конкурентоспособны в предвыборной борьбе, с другой стороны, вероятно, среди потенциальных политиков мало женщин. В книге дан последовательный анализ возможных причин недопредставленности женщин в политической сфере: отношение к женщинам-политикам партийных лидеров и других представителей политической элиты, влияние социализации и избирательной системы, влияние инкумбенства. В мире ситуация с вовлечением женщин в политический процесс несколько изменилась. На уровне региональных политических структур число женщин значительно увеличилось практически повсеместно. При этом сохраняется тенденция сокращения числа женщин на более значимых позициях политической иерархии, исключение составляют лишь скандинавские страны. В ходе проведенного исследования было выявлено, что серьезным препятствием на пути женщин во власть является ресурс инкумбенства. Кроме того, потенциальные активистки боятся дискриминации со стороны электората и партийных структур. В заключении авторы предлагают свои рекомендации по изменению ситуации представительства женщин в политической сфере.

O VOTERS reward or punish candidates who are female? Walter D Mondale obviously believed a female candidate is an asset to a ~ ~ national ticket. Others think that having a female on the ticket may lose more votes than it wins. Our study, using data from 1100 primary and 1200 general election contests for state legislatures in six states during the period 1970 to 1980, examines the degree to which candidate gender affects voter choice. Our study has two aims. First, we will assess the possible effect of candidate gender on vote totals of candidates. Second, we will explore the variations in any gender differences under a variety of environmental conditions.

This paper applies aggregate data analysis to explore the relationships among the economic development level, the status of women, and the quality of life in developing societies. In particular, it tests the hypothesis that the status of women is positively related to the quality of life even after the effects of economic growth and development are statistically controlled. Our analysis strongly confirms this hypothesis since the status of women in a society appears to rival the economic development level for explaining how good or ill is the quality of life enjoyed by its citizens. We undertook this study from the theoretical perspective that questions conceptualizing and measuring development simply in terms of the level and growth of GNP per capita. Rather, the social needs and quality of life in a society, the presumed consequences of development, are important as well.

By analyzing roll call voting behavior and the socioeconomic characteristics of representatives to the 1970 Illinois Constitutional Convention, this study seeks to assess: (1) the roll call cohesiveness of Chicago Democrats and other voting groups in the assembly; (2) the social, economic, and ethnic composition of major voting blocs; and (3) the kinds of issues which may tend to factionalize machine delegates. Factor analysis shows that the Chicago Democratic group was by far the most unified voting set at the Con-Con. However, given the heterogeneous elements which comprised the machine bloc, there were various roll calls—basically revolving around divergent ethnic and religious interests -which promoted substantial disunity in the ranks of the Chicago organization.
