Why African Autocracies Promote Women as Leaders

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Why African Autocracies Promote Women as Leaders explains how and why authoritarian countries promote women as leaders in Africa. The face of African politics has changed significantly since the mid-1990s as more women have entered politics in both democracies and autocracies. Women's movements and organizations have successfully lobbied for and won more leadership roles for women in the executive, legislature, and sub-national bodies.
