Abstract

U ovom radu razmatramo problematiku nedovoljne zastupljenosti žena u političkoj sferi. Cilj ovog rada je spoznati koji su uzroci te pojave te koji su efikasni načini povećanja sudjelovanja žena u politici. U sklopu toga osvrnut ćemo se na situaciju u svijetu, Europi i Hrvatskoj. Većina autora složila se da su uzroci neuravnotežene zastupljenosti kulturološke, socioekonomske i političke prirode. Posljednjih godina mnoge su zemlje uvele mjere kako bi se taj problem smanjio, a najčešća mjera su kvote kojima se traži ravnomjerna zastupljenost oba spola u političkom odlučivanju. Jedni su tu mjeru uredili ustavom ili zakonom, dok su u drugima pojedine stranke prihvatile voluntarističke stranačke kvote. Uspješnost ove mjere ovisi o načinu primjene i predviđenim sankcijama, a primjena kvota je pokazala da one imaju pozitivne i negativne strane.

Abstract (english)

This paper adresses the problem of underrepresentation of women in political decision- making. The aim of the paper is to understand the causes of this phenomenon and the effective ways of increasing participation of women in political decision making. In this context, the paper looks at the situation generally in the world, Europe and Croatia. Most authors agree that the causes for underrepresentation of women in political decision making may be found in cultural, socioeconomic and political factors. In recent years, many countries have introduced measures to reduce this problem and the most common measure were gender quotas. Some countries imposed legislated quotas, while the others have voluntary party quotas. The success of these measures depends on the method of implementation and possible sanctions, where, the implementation of quotas has shown that they have both positive and negative sides.
