- Zusatztext
- <span><span>The book analyses patterns of womens political participation and evaluates disparity between levels of womens participation in politics and representation in governance in Nigeria. It also examines the causes of womens underrepresentation in governance and decision-making as well as their implications for the countrys socioeconomic development and describes strategies for increased womens representation in governance and decision-making in Nigeria. This study relies on political-culture and liberal-feminist theory and adopts a mixed-method research design involving quantitative and qualitative methods. It uses multistage sampling in selecting Nigerias South-East, North-West and South-West geopolitical-zones and 1206 women of electoral age for the study survey conducted using structured questionnaire and in-depth interview.</span></span>
