Examines women's representation and role in the politics of Latin American countriesExplores women in political institutions, barriers to women in politics and the role of women in politics at the subnational levelCombines academic expertise from multiple disciplines with contributions from practitioners within national and international institutions

This book discusses the current tendencies in women¿s representation and their role in politics in Latin American countries from three different perspectives. Firstly, the authors examine cultural, political-partisan and organizational obstacles that women face in and outside institutions. Secondly, the book explores barriers in political reality, such as gender legislation implementation, public administration and international cooperation, and proposes solutions, supported by successful experiences, emphasising the nonlinearity of the implementation process. Thirdly, the authors highlight the role of women in politics at the subnational level. The book combines academic expertise in various disciplines with contributions from practitioners within national and international institutions to broaden the reader¿s understanding of women in Latin American politics.
