This book contributes to our understanding of the trajectories and prerogatives of female political leaders in the varying context of democratization, political institutions and cultural norms. No woman had been elected leader of a country before 1960, but with democratic transitions on the rise since the 1970s, the number of women in executive office gradually became a trend of global scope. In 2015, nineteen countries had an elected female Head of State and/or Government, a proportionally small number that is expected to climb as more women compete for high office, sometimes against other female candidates. This volume compares how women executives differ in promoting gender equality and advocating for women’s rights and interests, as well as in their ability to negotiate gender policy agendas. Comparative and theoretical chapters on post-transition women leaders are complemented by case studies in eight countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern and Central Europe. This book will be of use to students and scholars interested in gender studies, comparative politics, and political leadership.

Probably no region's economists have had greater public visibility or greater impact on regional and national public policy than Latin America's and no region has been more directly affected by the spread of US economics. Economists in the Americas joins a small but important comparative literature on economics as a profession and is the first comparative treatment of professional economists in the United States and Latin America. A multidisciplinary group of scholars discusses the last sixty years of shifting trends in economics in seven countries in the Western Hemisphere - Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and the United States. The chapters address the history of economics in the Americas, the role of economists in politics and policy-making, economics education and competing paradigms in the field. This collection points to the interconnections among the national cases, the forging and breakdown of consensus around state and market dominance, the transnational diffusion of economic ideas and professional norms, as well as the embrace and rejection of an increasingly Americanized professional identity among Latin American economists. The book will be of interest to policymakers and scholars interested in the comparative history and sociology of economics, development, public policy, international affairs, political science and Latin American studies.

La exclusion de las mujeres en la cuspide del poder politico persiste, a pesar de ser inconsistente con los principios basicos de la democracia. Los estudios sobre genero, ejecutivo y democratizacion que aqui se presentan buscan contribuir a una major comprension de la historia de la democracia global. Veronica Montecinos, Profesora Distinguida Emerita, Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania. Este libro muestra como la dinamica de genero en el ejecutivo actua como una espada de doble filo: las mujeres que presiden los gobiernos pueden ser castigadas tanto por ajustarse a las expectativas de genero como por no hacerlo. Julieta Suarez-Cao, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile Este volumen conecta el analisis de las instituciones, la teoria de genero y los estudios de caso para ofrecer el mejor mapa existente de las mujeres estadistas. Andres Malamud, Universidad de Lisboa La eleccion de mas mujeres en el ejecutivo parecia augurar nuevos impetus de democracia en el mundo, pero liderazgos populistas y movimientos antigenero, obligan a intensificar el estudio sobre estos asuntos. Este libro entrega ensenanzas para enfrentar los desafios de la desdemocratizacion. Maria de los Angeles Fernandez Ramil, Fundacion Hay Mujeres La cuestion de genero no ha sido examinada adecuadamente en la literatura sobre liderazgo politico y democratizacion. Al llenar este vacio, este texto es fundamental para entender el impacto del liderazgo de las mujeres en las democracias postransicionales y en la "e;democratizacion de la democracia"e;. Jose Luis Mendez Martinez, El Colegio de MexicoVeronica Montecinos, sociologa y cientista politica chilena, es Profesora Distinguida Emerita en la Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania. Sus trabajos sobre desigualdades de genero, historia comparada de la disciplina economica, democratizacion y otros temas relacionados con America Latina han sido publicados en libros y revistas academicas.
