An interesting study on the policy of getting women on has been published.  Women on Boards

The study introduces the actors who make the implementation of this policy possibile.  Here are the four crucial elements:

1.  Women mobilize for quotas to be instituted for women’s representation on boards.

2.  Political elites recognize the strategic advanages for pursuing quotas.

3. Quotas are consistent with existing or emerging notions of equality.

4.  Quotas are supported by international norms and spread through transnational sharing.

The study is dynamic.  Actors who participate in the process are shown at work.  What determines national public policy initatives to increase the presence of women on boards?
