Uncivil Society: The Perils of Pluralism and the Making of Modern Liberalism
ISBN: 9780739109090 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Yet in the 2002 elections the main political parties fell well short of nominating equal numbers of male and female candidates. How did parity replace gender quotas as the preferred way to achieve greater representation for women in elected office? Why have these...
