Political Quotas for Women 10 Mar 2007
How important are they?

Given the slow speed by which the number of women in politics is growing, there are increased calls for more efficient methods to reach a gender balance in political institutions. Quotas present one such mechanism but their use raises serious questions and, in some cases, strong resistance. Jane is joined by Dr Sarah Childs from Bristol University and Professor of Political Science, Drude Dahlerup from Stockholm University, to talk about the use of quotas.
