Women in Politics: Progress & Impact in the Serbian Context
This work is concerned with five particular, isolated components of the larger topic of women in politics; specifically the reasons why women do and should run for office (theoretical and practical), the external, systemic barriers they face becoming elected or appointed political officials, the effectiveness and utility of gender quotas, perceptions of women leaders and gender quotas within societies, and the effect of women leaders on other women and society-at-large. This work will attempt to probe these themes in a specific context, namely that of Serbia during the year 2011-2012. It is a relevant case study insofar as the country instituted an obligatory quota in pre-election cycle stages within its National Parliament.
