Where Have All the Women Gone? Women's Political Representation in Local Councils of Czech and Slovak Towns, 1994-2014

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The goal of the book is to fill a gap in research on women&apos;s political representation at local level. The absence of pertinent studies in the post-communist region became the main motivation for this comparative study of the Czech and Slovak Republics in the time period after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. We attempt to introduce fundamental theoretical approaches that have been adopted to explain different levels of political representation of women at various levels of government (national, regional, local). In the absence of a review paper on theoretical approaches to studying women&apos;s political representation in the Czech and Slovak contexts, we seek to summarise the subject matter and inform the academic debate in the region. Furthermore, we introduce an original conceptual framework for explaining the effects of different factors on women&apos;s political representation, not only in the Czech and Slovak contexts but also in potential broader comparison - one that would include both traditional democracies in the Western European region and new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe or elsewhere in the world. Finally, we apply the previously introduced conceptual framework and analyse women&apos;s political representation on a sample of Czech municipalities with extended powers and Slovak district towns by means of regression analysis, together with a somewhat different perspective, using configurative approach of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). From the methodological perspective, the present publication exemplifies a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis. By adopting mixed methods, we were able to obtain more in-depth explanations for some aspects identified through quantitative analysis.
