Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines women's political representation in Eastern Europe and in particular the way in which that representation has evolved in the ten years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. In addition to shedding light on the democratization of Eastern Europe, the volume aims to provide a useful test for a range of theories of representation.
