Women's Representation in National Politics in the World's Democratic Countries: A Research Note
Mid Sweden University, Faculty of Human Sciences, Department of Social Sciences.ORCID iD: 0000-0002-6284-2591
2012 (English)In: Journal of Women, Politics & Policy, ISSN 1554-477X, E-ISSN 1554-4788, Vol. 33, no 3, p. 263-279Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

In this research note, I introduce a new concept for examining women's political representation. This concept deals with women's representation both in parliaments and governments. I name the new concept "women's representation in national politics." The empirical results of this study demonstrate that the independent variable region is the variable with the greatest explanatory power of the independent variables used in this study. The results show that Scandinavia has extraordinarily high levels of female representation in national politics. The results also show that three countries in Oceania-Nauru, Palau, and Tuvalu-do not have any female representation in national politics.
