- Summary:
- This report examines women's political representation in Europe and announces a surprising problem with gender quotas, which elsewhere in the world have been an important measure for boosting the number of women in legislative bodies. In the newly democratic countries of eastern Europe, however, quotas often are rejected as negative reminders of the hollow declarations of state-sponsored socialism. Eastern and western European countries are compared by detailing quotas studied and implemented in Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Serbia and Montenegro, and Slovenia.
- Notes:
- This report was complied from the findings and case studies presented at an International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance and Central and East European Network for gender issues workshop held on 22-23 October 2004, in Budapest, Hungary.
