Description

Cabinets, Ministers, and Gender offers a groundbreaking analysis of how gender influences cabinet formation in democracies. By examining seven countries and elite interviews, media data, and autobiographies, the authors reveal the complex rules that govern appointments to high office. This study sheds light on why some democracies have appointed more women to cabinet than others, and how these patterns can be shaped by political actors' interpretations of existing rules. The book also explores the emergence of a concrete floor - a minimum number of women required for a cabinet's legitimacy - and its implications for democratic governance. Through in-depth analysis and nuanced insights, Cabinets, Ministers, and Gender provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of gender politics and democracy.
