NY bog, udkommet 25.okt. 2018: Demokrati uden kvinder?
Forlaget U Press
”Der synes at være opstået en ny modreaktion mod feminismen”
Med opdaterede facts om køn og ligestilling globalt og i DK sætter Drude Dahlerup FN’s verdensmål i relief med sin bog Demokrati uden kvinder? – den udkom oktober 2018.
”At tilbageskridt i ligestillingen er en reel risiko, er for mange andre lande i verden ingen nyhed. Men det er først for alvor gået op for os i de gamle demokratier efter valget af en sexistisk og racistisk præsident i verdens hidtil stærkeste magt og med udviklingen af illiberale partier og demokratier i visse europæiske lande. Der synes i visse lande at være opstået en ny modreaktion mod feminismen – en anti-gender-bevægelse mod kvinders og seksuelle minoriteters rettigheder – og det, længe før fuld ligestilling er blevet en realitet.”
Kvinder i politiske beslutningsprocesser: Drude Dahlerup giver med denne bog et seriøst bidrag til en skrantende dansk debat om ligestilling og køn. Hun spørger med fokus på kvotering, hvorfor det trods mange års fremgang skal tage så lang tid at opnå fuld inklusion af kvinder i det politiske liv. ”Kvinder har kun en fjerdedel af pladserne i verdens parlamenter, og i de nye globale styresystemer er kvinderepræsentationen endnu mindre.” – Dahlerups svar er baseret på hendes mangeårige forskning. Bogen bringer eksempler fra hendes arbejde som international konsulent omkring integrering af kvinder i politiske beslutningsprocesser. Den danske udvikling sættes ind i et internationalt perspektiv.

To af Rødstrømpebevægelsens vigtigste slogans var: ”Ingen klassekamp uden kvindekamp – ingen kvindekamp uden klassekamp” og ”Det private er politisk”. Mens det første slogan er gået over i historien, er det andet blevet højaktuelt med #MeToo-bevægelsens globale oprør mod seksuel chikane og seksuelle krænkelser. https://www.djoef-forlag.dk/openaccess/samf/samfdocs/2018/2018_2/samf_2018_2_4.pdf

MY NEW BOOK:
My book, Has Democracy Failed Women?, is available from Polity: http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509516360
The book is part of Polity Press’ new series ‘Democratic Futures’ , written for a general audience, and for scholars and students.
Why are women still under-represented in politics? Can we speak of democracy when women are not fully included in political decision-making? Some argue that we are on the right track to full gender equality in politics, while others talk about women hitting the glass ceiling or being included in institutions with shrinking power, not least as a result of neo-liberalism.
In this powerful essay, internationally renowned scholar of gender and politics Drude Dahlerup explains how democracy has failed women and what can be done to tackle it. Political institutions, including political parties, she argues, are the real gatekeepers to elected positions all over the world, but they need to be much more inclusive. By reforming these institutions and carefully implementing gender quotas we can move towards improved gender equality and greater democratization.

“Dahlerup is not a ranter or a raver. She writes a cool, deliberate, decidedly temperate prose, and she doesn’t propose a cookie cutter solution to the problem.”
