5. Vägen till Varannan damernas : Om kvinnorepresentation, kvotering och kandidaturval i svensk politik 1970-2002
Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to analyse women’s political representation in the Swedish parliament 1970-2002, a period during which the share of women parliamentarians increased from 14 to 45 percent, and to assess changes in party rules and party norms in terms of regulative and discursive continuity and change.
