Call for PapersThe Call for Papers has been terminated. Notifications will be send out by mid-April The conference series “Women and Politics in Asia” started 2003 in Sweden, at Halmstad University, and was continued 2004 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and 2005 in Islamabad, Pakistan. In 2009, the fourth international conference of its kind will be convened by the Institute of Social Science at the University of Hildesheim, Germany. Building upon “Women and Politics in Asia 2005: Discovering the Gender Face of Politics”, Women and Politics in Asia: A Springboard for Democracy? aims to reflect upon the links between
within Greater Asia in an integrated comparative perspective. This region of the world is interesting for students of democracy for a number of reasons: Many Asian countries have acceded to different forms of democratic government in the past few years while other countries belong to the group of fragile states, struggling with instable or autocratic governments, heterogeneous gender and identity politics and/or with internally contested democratisation/liberalisation and state-building projects resulting in distinctive gendered outcomes. The vast majority boast extremely diverse populations, which generates enormous challenges for the establishment of balanced political representation and participation; many countries have adopted affirmative action measures to increase the representation of women and ethnic groups in their parliaments; many countries have elected women to the highest positions of executive and legislative power; finally, many countries are confronted with national and international initiatives for gender mainstreaming, women machineries and progressive gender policy regimes as part of a good governance concept of ODA donor countries or lobbying from (trans)national women’s movements and non-governmental organizations throughout the region. This conference is soliciting papers for the following four themes (and parallel sessions):
