{"product_id":"9781009570435","title":"Gender, Ethnicity, and Intersectionality in Cabinets : Asia and Europe in Comparative Perspective by Roman Hlatky","description":"What explains patterns of representation - of women and ethnic minorities - in government cabinets? The authors argue governments diversify their cabinets when (1) a minority group - and it need not be ethnic - is sizable and can mobilize (political competition); and\/or (2) the general population believes in and expects the inclusion of minorities (popular norms). The authors test their argument using original cabinet data from Asia and Europe (N=93) 1960-2015 and a most-similar design of four case studies. They identify the gender and ethnicity of 91,000 country-year-minister observations - with consideration of the rank of their ministerial portfolio. They find evidence that in countries where there is political competition and\/or popular norms, cabinets have fewer double-hegemons. However, this does not necessarily suggest minorities are holding portfolios of substantive prestige. This project offers a way to study intersectionality in democratic representation and political institutions.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419676127605,"sku":"9781009570435","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781009570435","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
