This thesis presents ethnographic research focused on practices, and perspectives among members of the OCI's service population.

Let Us In, Let Us In: A Study Of Legislative Representation In Post-Communist Europe, Rebecca Ray '01

Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research

There is no dispute that women are grossly under-represented in the world's legislatures. However, there are several explanations for this under-representation and for the variation that exists between regions and between countries. The prevailing literature points to institutional, developmental, and cultural variables. This study uses the postcommunist context in order to control for culture. Given the common experience of state socialism and the re-traditionalization of social values associated with a backlash against directive emancipation, culture cannot be the main factor in determining the wide variation in levels of female legislative representation in the new democracies of Eastern Europe. In testing …
