Recenzii
Cabinets, Ministers, and Gender is inductive, a stellar example of what in-depth qualitative work, especially deep case knowledge, brings to political science. ... Annesley, Beckwith, and Franceschet's argument about concrete floors makes groundbreaking contributions to studies of women's political inclusion.
Recommended.
Cabinets, Ministers, and Gender provides ground-breaking insight into the factors that explain changing patterns of women's representation in executives. The cross-national and over time perspective allows the authors to isolate causal factors and to develop deep insights into how 'concrete' floors gain their strength, as well as what factors threaten to undermine them.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in gender and the executive branch, and indeed for students of executive politics more generally. Focusing on seven democracies, the authors identify the rules and norms that govern ministerial selection in each country. They identify the experiential, affiliational, and representational criteria that shape access to power. Importantly, they convincingly demonstrate that the strongest predictor of women's presence in cabinets is the establishment of gendered representational criteria that demand women's inclusion. Their conceptual framework, paired with their rich qualitative data, has resulted in a book that is not only an important scholarly contribution, but also a pleasure to read.
Women presidents and women legislators have been extensively studied, buttressed by sophisticated theoretical frameworks that explain their pathways to power. Nonetheless, up until now, how, when, and why women become cabinet ministers have been questions largely left unanswered. Annesley, Beckwith, and Franceschet provide a path-breaking and conceptually sophisticated analysis of women cabinet ministers. In what promises to become a seminal book, this cross-national, cross-time study employs a sophisticated qualitative methodology to account for the forces that bring women cabinet ministers to power.
This meticulously researched book significantly extends our analyses of cabinet formation and how its associated processes are gendered. Through the comparative analysis of seven cases, spanning presidential and parliamentary systems in Europe, the Americas, and Australia, the authors develop a rigorous new analytical framework that furthers our understanding, particularly in the use of their new conceptual tool, the 'concrete floor'. This book deserves to be widely read
