Description
Gender quotas are a growing worldwide phenomenon, yet their variable implementation remains under-researched. Using the prominent case study of France this book approaches quotas from the perspective of the key actors responsible for them - political parties.
Reviews / Votes
"This well-organized and insightful analysis effectively weaves together makor literatures on comparative political parties, gender and politics. In doing so, Murray's book makes a unique contribution to both literatures. Highly recommended"
