Women in Presidential Cabinets

Power Players or Abundant Tokens?

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Are women in presidential cabinets new political players or do they adopt the same strategies as the men who traditionally run government? Once in office, are they treated equally and are they as effective as their male counterparts? Using data from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and the US, Women in Presidential Cabinets provides evidence of gender integration.
