Abstract

Women’s promotion to cabinet and into (and out of) political leadership has garnered much popular attention in the past few years, in part prompted by key ‘moments’ in the Anglo-American world. This panel aims to explore in further depth gendered variations in elite career paths (appointment, promotion and exit) and portfolio responsibilities. The focus is on comparing women and men, across political jurisdictions, at both national and sub-national level, and changes over time, across country cases, using quantitative and/or qualitative methods of analysis.
